The newest edition of this superb book is much prettier! Lots of colour both photographic and diagramatic. The fact that it is an American book, makes no difference if you are a UK student and there is sufficient A&P in each section (just in case you haven't read up on it much lately!)to allow you to work without another tome by your side.
The notes, in red, in the margin provide either further differential diagnoses or refer you to other areas in the book. Although I rarely work with children the sections on assessment, examination techniques and basic childhood problems is superb.
Set out with an initial overview of history taking and a general over view of the patient I found that this both added to my skills as well as helping define the pattern I used in history taking and how I could refine it - I found that worth a straight 'read through'. The other areas I have found excellent to dip in and out of and the written directions for examination are so well written that carrying out examinations in new areas of practice is much easier.
Backed with a good evidence base and obviously refined and improved since the last edition it really is a must for any independent practitioner or those working towards nurse practitioner.
An invaluable addition to any general practice - though a little on the pricey side.
I have to hide it from my GP colleagues! December 2, 2001

A beautifully bound book which you really can judge by its cover. The information is written in a clear and concise style which is easy to follow and understand; the illustrations and photographs are used to excellent effect and the whole book is a pleasure to read and own. I work as a nurse in General Practice and took my new copy in to work to show my senior GP partner who owns a veritable library of his own. He was deeply impressed by the quality of the book - so much so that I have had to hide it from him! Whatever your profession, whether doctor, nurse or PAM I defy you not to find this one of the most thoroughly readable books on physical examination and history taking ever. Worth its weight in gold.

Honestly? I have never seen such a useful, illustrated, clear, lovely medical book, which is also a must. And it is. This is the best medical book you will ever have, which will help you for years. Go! order it. You won't be dissapointed. This book has hundreds of pics, illustrations, and clear and easy content. Amazing. As simple as that.

this is the best book for study at all levels of medical education with systematic examination tech. and a basic understanding of the underlying process preceeding ,giving the clinician a good review of the system in check and also important points for counselling which have to be touched upon before the encounter closes..
