Introduction to Clinical Examination by John Macleod

The 10th Edition of MACLEOD'S CLINICAL EXAMINATION contains the practical skills clinicians must develop to learn advanced diagnostic procedures, management strategies, and plans. Throughout the book, the methods of obtaining an accurate history and performing a physical examination are emphasized. Each main chapter begins by describing the relevant symptom and its significance. The normal findings in a physical examination are described and related to important aspects of applied anatomy and physiology. The examination sequence and the relevance of abnormal signs are then discussed in detail. Chapters conclude with the advantages and limitations of the investigations as well as examples.
  • A clear description of the fundamental skills of patient evaluation and examination, answering the questions which arise from this.
    • Starts with two general overview chapters that provide the framework on which to hang the detail.
  • The system chapters document clearly the relevant history, examination and special investigations as well as giving advice on their significance.
    • A book at the heart of learning how to be a good doctor; invaluable for students starting clinical medicine as well as for more senior students and junior doctors, reminding them of the procedures involved in clerking a patient.
  • Closely linked to its sister publication, Davidsons Principles & Practice of Medicine, which complements the information in this text.
