This review is from: Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking (Hardcover)
Very fast delivery - literally got here in 2 days. Very pleased. Only downfall was there was a dent in the edge of the book, likely due to mishandling during shipping.

This review is from: Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking (Hardcover)
Bates has wonderfully detailed and specific descriptions of each system exam as well as descriptions on history taking, clinical reasoning, behavior and mental status. Special sections include infants/children, pregnant women and older adults. Within each chapter there is a wonderful overview of the system including anatomy and physiology which transitions nicely into descriptions of abnormal findings and their clinical significance. This book does not simply cover how to perform a physical exam but also includes a mini medicine review.

This review is from: Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking (Hardcover)
The format is easy to follow but I think the older editions are just as comprehensive without spending the additional money.

This review is from: Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking (Hardcover)
The text was required for class. The CD is very clear and simple information, for a beginning practitioner in physical assessment. The book has some interesting color slides for differential diagnosis. It is pricey, but the Amazon price was better than others.
