The 12th Edition of this famous medical textbook, which was 'Highly Commended' in the 2006 British Medical Association Medical Book Competition, builds on the extensively rewritten previous edition. Over 500 clinical photographs and diagrams now illustrate the text, whilst new topics have been added to make the book even more comprehensive. A complementary DVD now accompanies the book, with specially-recorded videos demonstrating many of the clinical examination routines as they are described in the main text. The book is written by a team of editors and contributors who are all active clinicians and experts in their specialist fields, including in general practice where much of clinical teaching is now based. It describes the practical skills which every clinician must acquire and develop in order to evolve diagnostic procedures and management strategies and plans.

Early chapters describe the techniques and procedures fundamental to successful examination and diagnosis; effective history taking; interviewing the patient; what to look for during a general examination; assessment of presenting symptoms. Subsequent chapters deal with the examination of specific body regions. Each is introduced by a description of the relevant anatomy and physiology, a knowledge of which is vital to a complete understanding of clinical findings and their effective interpretation. As a necessary precursor to a discussion of specific examination techniques, there follows a description of the principal signs, symptoms and abnormalities which may be encountered upon examination. It should be noted that pathogenesis, treatment and specialized investigations are deliberately omitted from this book. Finally, the examination techniques are described at length and in practical terms, thereby intending to help the reader to integrate the entire chapter into a usable whole.
