Description and Table of Contents
Description
Initial encounters with patients can often be worrying for medical students in their first clinical year. Fundamental to effective diagnosis is the ability to examine the patient in a systematic manner; these techniques of examination eventually become
absorbed by the student and appear as 'second nature'. But how are they learned? 'Clinical Examination of the Patient' provides a superbly-illustrated sequential guide to patient examination, emphasising points of potential confusion and providing a sound framework for subsequent practical experience. This pocket-sized book is invaluable to the medical student entering the first clinical year and will be re-read before final examinations. It also provides a useful source of information for those in the allied health professions.
