Exellent book for Hx taking and physical exam!!!5
There are lots of books out there now for Med students or anyone involved in the medical field to learn about proper Hx taking and physical exam.But clearly this book stands out. Now in it's 9th ed, it comes also with a CD containing videos demonstrating those PE techniques. I'm already done with my residency and finished Med school about a decade ago, but was 'forced' to buy this new edition as I would be teaching Med students Hx taking and Physical diagnosis.I needed to refresh all of those stuff that I learned before,and with this book it made everything easy. Proper techniques of physical examination were clearly described and most of them are illustrated well. The book also shows expected normal findings, and associate those abnormal findings with certain diseases and pathology that they can be seen.
I strongly recomned this book to those who really wanted to learn the proper, correct way of physical examination.It's well worth it-something you'll use throughout your career (like the Dubin book for EKGs).

Good overall book but not for ortho exam3
I liked this book but the one thing I wanted from it that it didn't have was a good musculoskeletal exam. For that, I highly recommend Pocket Guide to Musculoskeletal Diagnosis. Hoppenfeld is okay too, but Pocket Guide is better. I like Bates as a reference but it's not very practical for day-to-day use.

comprehensive,thorough and excellent5
this is the best book for study at all levels of medical education with systematic examination tech. and a basic understanding of the underlying process preceeding ,giving the clinician a good review of the system in check and also important points for counselling which have to be touched upon before the encounter closes..
