Produktbeschreibung
This classic textbook aims to assist clinicians develop the consultation skills required to elicit a clear history, and the practical skills needed to detect clinical signs of disease. Where possible, the physical basis of clinical signs is explained to aid understanding. Formulation of a differential diagnosis from the information gained is introduced, and the logical initial investigations are included for each system.
The first part of the book addresses the general principles of good interaction with patients, from the basics of taking a history and examining, to the use of pattern recognition to identify spot diagnoses.

The second part documents the relevant history, examination and investigations for all the major body systems.

The third part illustrates the application of these skills to specific clinical situations.

The final part covers preparation for assessments of clinical skills and the use of these skills in everyday practice.

The book has accompanying videos demonstrating many of the key clinical examination routines as set out in the book. A new editorial team has undertaken a substantial review of the book's contents and with the help of many new authors has radically revised the order and approach of the text.

Several new chapters have been created including a chapter on patients with mental disorders; a chapter covering the approach to a deteriorating patient; a chapter on assessment of patients towards the end of life and two new chapters on applying the key clinical skills during assessments and in practice.

The structure of the text has been rationalised with careful use of boxes, tables and figures to set out the concepts for maximum clarity.
Rezensionen

The 13th Edition was Highly Commended in the 2014 BMA Book Awards:



    "This book manages to explain some difficult concepts with real clarity. It is clear, concise and well-illustrated. I am sure that medical, nursing and paramedic students will find it accessible and useful to their studies. As a GP I have enjoyed reading this book as a refresher to my clinical examination skills- I have also gained some new knowledge from this book. There are quite a few examination books on the market so there is a lot of competition. I do feel that this book is one of the best as it is so well-written and engaging. I think it does stand out in its class and I would have no hesitation in recommending it over other similar books.

    One of the real 'plus points' for this book is the clarity of writing. I was surprised to read something I had not understood before described so well that immediately the 'penny dropped'. The authors have a real skill for explaining things. Everything is broken down into small chunks so it is easy to dip in and out of the book or read it continuously. Although it is easy to understand this book is not in any way patronising or over simplistic. I am impressed with the quality of this book and the breadth of coverage. I think it would be excellent value for money as it would take someone through their undergraduate studies and well beyond.

    Without a doubt the book's main strength is its clarity both in the descriptive text and quality of the illustrations. It is an extremely clear and comprehensive book on clinical examination. It is packed with relevant helpful illustrations and photos. This is an excellent core text for medical students and beyond ."
