Description
The fourth edition of Clinical Examination provides a clear, practical and above all, superbly illustrated guide to all aspects of history
taking and patient examination. Designed to be accessible both to medical students just starting their clinical attachments and to more
experienced readers, the clear writing style, the innovative use of clinical photographs and the explanatory illustrations combine to
explain and clarify the concepts and skills necessary to take a history and perform an examination. The text is organised by body system,
with each chapter structured the same way: firstly, underlying structure and function; secondly, signs, symptoms and abnormalities; thirdly,
patient examination.
Audience:
