These diagnostic shortcuts that the authors call “Handles” are features that might permit a rapid diagnosis. Conversely “Red Flags” are observations that should warn a clinician to reconsider and think of an alternative solution.Highly illustrated with figures, tables, and video clips throughout, Instant Neurological Diagnosis: A Companion to Neurobowl© is an ideal guide for enhancing clinical acumen and better patient management.
