Description
The most important core skills for medical students to master are history taking and clinical examination. This extensively revised,
eighth edition has been written with the philosophy that the acquisition of clinical skills is most effectively undertaken at the bedside.
This pocketbook should be used as a companion, to be taken onto the wards and into consulting rooms where the information is most needed.
The book begins with a system of history taking followed by a new chapter on the analysis of key symptoms. The remaining chapters cover
physical examination of each of the major systems. Each stage of the examination starts with a detailed, step-by-step description of
the examination method complemented by relevant illustrations, diagrams and tables on the facing page. This book is intended primarily
for use at the outset of clinical training; once students have achieved proficiency in the basic skills of interviewing and examining,
the book should also prove useful for revision.
Audience
Medical students and other health professionals.
