I was wondering if there is anything online (or any textbook) that takes an approch to teaching surgery by starting with a symptom (ear pain, hearing loss, abdominal pain) and then goes through a differential and how to rule out/in...for example a flow chart, or something written with a flow chart sort of concept in mind. I have lists of DDx but that doesnt explain how to differentiate. I also have clinical blueprints which so far seem the best, but present specific cases. I am looking for something more general. Its even better if it discusses treatment as well.
I was thinking that a good approach to learning clinical medicine would be to make your own flow chart for different common symptoms and learn it well. The textbooks don't seem to be structured in this way, however. Any comments (good or bad) on this study approach would be helpful as well! Thanks.
