Essential Examination is one of the bestselling medical textbooks on the market. It is particularly suitable for medical students preparing for OSCEs and those learning to examine patients.
Now in full colour, the book retains the unique format and approach of the original which has proved so popular:
• Clear, step-by-step guides to each examination, including useful things to say to the patient (or an examiner), detailed descriptions of special tests, etc.
• In a separate column is a collection of key information: potential findings, differential diagnoses of clinical signs and practical tips.
• On the following pages there are facts relating to that particular examination and, in many sections, there are also tips on how to present your findings succinctly - a skill which is crucial to master for exam success.
