Inhaltsangabe

The third edition of CLINICAL EXAMINATION provides a clear, practical and above all, superbly illustrated guide to all aspects of history taking and patient examination. Designed to be accessible both to medical students just starting their clinical attachments and to more experienced readers, the clear writing style, the innovative use of clinical photographs and the explanatory artworks combine to explain and clarify the concepts and skills necessary to take a history and perform an examination. The text is organised by body system, with each chapter structured the same way: firstly, underlying structure and function; secondly, signs, symptoms and abnormalities; thirdly, patient examination.

  • "Icon boxes" highlight suggested questions to ask the patient · primary disorders associated with each body region and their causes · sample case histories · implications for emergency situations · implications for elderly patients · risk factors · and key points.
  • Color photographs depict clinical manifestations as they present in real life.
  • Color diagrams illustrate underlying structure and function and demonstrate examination techniques.
  • Offers expanded coverage of the psychiatric examination and examination of the pregnant patient.
  • Includes more "icon boxes" covering elderly patients · questions to ask · emergencies · risk factors · and more.
  • Presents new material on the GALS screen (gait, arms, legs, spine) in the Bone, Joint and Muscle chapter.
  • Incorporates numerous new CTs and other diagnostic images.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Owen Epstein is a consultant gastroenterologist at the Royal Free, active both in undergraduate medical student and postgraduate/GP training. He is an enthusiastic advocate of non-traditional, electronic teaching and learning methods, having introduced various interactive teaching systems into the Royal Free. David Perkin is a consultant neurologist and teacher at the Charing Cross, familiar to us as the author of Atlas of Clinical Neurology and Mosby's Color Atlas & Text: Neurology. John Cookson is a consultant (respiratory) physician at the Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, again, very active in studentteaching and particularly interested in non-traditional, interactive teaching methods.

The fourth author on the second edition, David de Bono, died last year and his chapter will be taken over by John Cookson; I propose that David still be listed as an author on the cover and his involvementon previous editions acknowledged inside the 3/e.
