User’s Review:

Editorial Reviews: Review Review from previous edition: “The simple organization of the organ systems, the pertinent historical cures a practitioner should be looking for, the completeness of the description of the physical findings, supported by the excellent graphics, makes this one of the best texts on physical examination available…there is much to be learned by those at all levels of training from this well-organized, well-written book.” ―Doody’s Notes”This new book, which is part of the popular Oxford Handbook series, is a must-have for final year students and newly qualified foundation doctors. … The use of colour illustrations showing the clinical signs strengthens the book as a core text for students. … I have yet to read a book like this that encompasses clinical skills and practical skills.” ―British Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol 68, No 10″The book is part of the Oxford Handbook series (like the cheese and onion) and will therefore be familiar to the majority of students. Being a handbook is particulary useful and means it’ll fit in most pockets without trouble… To finish this excellent piece of work, Thomas and Monaghan have included a chapter on interpretation – going through most of radiology, clinical chemistry and not forgetting the dreaded ECGs.” ―Scott’s Spiel at http://www.scott-h.com About the Author James Thomas, Consultant Musculoskeletal Radiologist, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Nottingham, UK,Tanya Monaghan, Academic Clinical Lecturer in Gastroenterology, NIHR Nottingham Digestive Diseases Centre Biomedical Research Unit, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Nottingham,UK

I’m in love with this book. I have the whole collection from years ago on pdf, but this one so far it’s my favorite. I can take it to my rounds and it’s very easy to read, the best part is having the knowledge right at your hands when u needed. I am not a very tech person so this book works for me

Love this book. It’s great for understanding why we do the different aspects of the examinations and what different findings mean as well as guiding history taking. Would definitely recommend.

Good book. A fine review I used in medical school when I wanted to know the significance of physical exam maneuvers we were learning in class.

The english way of clinical examination. Really useful. Have been using it often while I’m at the office so I can improve my clinical skills,

I love that its easy to bring around the clinic

great!

Perfect

Good quality for a good price

Incredibly well laid out, easy to navigate and find exactly what you want. Small enough to carry around on shift and pull out whenever you get a few minutes. I love it.Easy and clear to understand, pitched at a decent level without over complicating the facts and something I can see being useful post qualification.My best buy without doubt.(Paramedic Science Student)

Use it almost daily, a must if use clinical examination. It’s like geeky medics but more comprehensive and in a book

Good for carrying around for quick reference. Not so much for prolongued reading
