This book has been praised as an invaluable resource for senior medical students and junior doctors as they attempt to make the difficult transition from mastering basic clinical skills to assessing patients in the real world of clinical medicine. - A unique book allowing a reader to apply the skills of clinical examination in the formulation of a differential diagnosis and placing a patient's symptoms in context. - Takes a problem-based approach to diagnostic reasoning, reflecting both modern medical and current educational practices. - Builds on the clinical skills outlined in the companion Macleod's Clinical Examination textbook.

The trail of a violent gang leads Hunter Stone and the Mounties to the Blackfoot village where Reena O'Donnell works as a missionary. There they find a mysterious half-breed who claims to know where the killers are. Hunter also discovers that a new missionary has arrived in the Territory who is obviously captivated by the beautiful Reena. When a violent clash occurs, leading to the capture of three gang members, Reena finds herself pleading with Hunter over his commitment to what he considers justice.
Hunter Stone and his fellow Mounties are faced with establishing themselves as the law in the North-West Territories. Meanwhile, Reena O'Donnell continues her missionary work among a tribe of the Blackfoot Nation.
