How can I treat a disease

-
Medical textbook doest tell much how to treat a disease stepwise and doesn't tell also considering comorbidity in details. Then what to do?

Medical textbook vs guidelines:

Medical textbooks discuss a disease, it's pathology, signs, symptoms, investigation, treatment in a general manner. It usually discuss  a single disease at a time. Simultaneous other diseases are not considered . Wheres guidelines discuss a condition or disease, it's simultaneous other diseases, methodical investigation in a logical way, treatment steps considering other conditions also. Guidelines are usually changed according to updated evidence based medicine, where textbook is usually not changed.

So which one I would prefer ?
For learning a disease, it's evolution, pathology, natural history textbook is must. But for treatment, approaching step by step for investigations and drug choice , guidelines are must. In other words, for beginners textbook is must to know a disease, but for advanced learners guidelines are must for treatment.

How should I approach or treat a disease?
       First, read a textbook, know about a disease, it's pathology, so you will learn how this disease works , how to stop this process. Then read a guideline, know about the investigations to be done, which investigation to be done first , how to confirm the disease, then which drug would be chosen, then FORMULARY BOOK for dose , duration, route of administration of the drug, investigation to monitor the drug's concentration or side effects.

Textbook for medicine: Oxford medicine, Harrison medicine, Kumar and Clark medicine, Davidson medicine book etc.

Guidelines: NICE, BTS, SCOT, AMA, ADA, AHA etc lots of guidelines. Just search on internet which country's guidelines you like to follow.
