Media Reviews
This is a handy sized book that will fit nicely into the pocket of a white coat...nicely in colour, with colour coded boxes for different points, such as emergencies, risk factors, questions for elderly patients etc. It also has some good pictures, photos and X-Rays to help to explain some of the ideas and concepts. Overall, a good quick reference point for help in taking histories and performing physical examinations. -- Medical Student, St George's Medical School, London 20040201 This is an incredibly comprehensive guide of how to examine just about everything. As its name implies, it's a perfect size to accompany you on the wards, and will appeal because it is packed full of colourful photos, charts and diagrams. If you are looking for a detailed guide that is good value for money, look no further. -- Instructor, Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham Hospital Medicine 20040501 ...a book with sufficient clinical examination detail and yet small enough to fit into a whitecoat pocket. Filled with clear colour diagrams and useful bullet points which makes and excellent on-the-ward reference. At the beginning of the 3rd year, when deciding on which of clinical skills book to buy, choice is usually based strongly upon personal preference to layout and explanation. However, when deciding to go for the full, or pocket-sized edition it is clear to see why many students are opting for the latter, providing them with a (cheaper) book, useful for both working at the desk and at the bedside. -- Student MAD Magazine - Barts and The London Students' Association 20040601
Author Bio
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 and Text: Neurology. John Cookson is a consultant (respiratory) physician at the Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, again, very active in student teaching 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 involvement on previous editions acknowledged inside the 3/e.
