"The first comprehensive description of the 'Cabot case' style of medical teaching that evolved into the classic clinicopathological case (CPC) mode. Cabot had a special interest in heart disease and was a pioneer of the concept of specialty clinics" (W. Bruce Fye). The book is designed so that each case appears in a single page opening on the left page with the right page blank for students to write their diagnoses.
