This book provides comprehensive coverage of the skills required for history-taking and physical examination, the choice and analysis of investigations to aid diagnosis, and the importance of the doctor-patient relationship. In this new edition the emphasis remains on providing practical information for diagnosis using traditional skills, but in keeping with developments, brief accounts of modern investigative methods and the principles underlying them are given where relevant. The text has been thoroughly revised, reorganized and updated. Two new chapters have been included on the examination of women and on the genitalia and sexually transmitted diseases. Students will welcome this book at the outset of their clinical work and find it a handy and reliable reference in their postgraduate years. An ELBS/LPBB edition is available.
