Description

This classic bestseller is popular with students and teachers alike! Now completely revised and updated -- it maintains the easy-to-use format that is the hallmark of earlier editions. Comprehensive yet to-the-point -- and with emphasis throughout on clinical thinking -- the book provides the best foundation for learning to perform physical examination and history taking. Students learn to ask the right questions -- and to understand the answers. A logical two-column format places examination procedures and proper techniques on the left, and common abnormalities and possible interpretations on the right. Highly visual -- now featuring hundreds of new images -- illustrations are strategically placed adjacent to relevant information, enhancing understanding. Tables of abnormalities appear at the end of each chapter, enabling the reader to compare and contrast abnormal findings.
