2 General Concepts

Abstract

This chapter discusses components of differential diagnostics with which the clinician may or may not be familiar; however, they are important in the formation of a functional diagnosis that allows clinicians to better be able to treat their patients. Some of the information will be a review for the reader, whereas other information will be novel. To those for whom the information is novel: enjoy and learn. To those who "know" the information provided in this chapter, take the time to review and reflect on it and apply the concepts to your current practice.
