Description

A new, comprehensively revised edition of this classic text of surgical diagnosis. Careful history-taking and the elicitation of physical signs remain of fundamental importance in surgical diagnosis. This classic text, presented in simple language backed up by over 900 illustrations, gives a guide to the interpretation of physical signs in each of the areas of the body. It is aimed primarily at medical students starting clinical work, but generations of clinicians have found it an invaluable companion at all stages of their careers.
