Summary: "Due to the rapid changes that have occurred in the field of MS management over the past several years, the task of staying well informed has become increasingly challenging for general neurologists and even more so for other healthcare specialists. During the course of living with the disease, patients often present to the emergency room for acute treatment, and on a more regular basis to their internists, family medicine doctors, urologists and dermatologists for symptom evaluation and treatment. These specialists often lack information of the monitoring requirements for patients with MS, potential risks and adverse events of disease modifying or symptomatic therapies, possible drug interactions and contra indications of medications. Multiple Sclerosis for the Non-Neurologist aims to provide an up to date reference for doctors, residents, and fellows who find themselves tasked with caring for patients with MS"--Provided by publisher.
