An Introduction to the Symptoms and Signs of Clinical Medicine by Peter Toghill
Devoted to the fundamental techniques of history taking and examination, restricting itself to common conditions likely to be seen in everyday practice, An Introduction to the Symptoms and Signs in Clinical Medicine, addresses the need to go back to the basics of clinical examination. This companion to the very popular book by Peter Toghill comes in response to the feedback from student groups and lecturers that expressed the desire for a book that isn't a 'mini textbook'. The first book written with a systems based and problem oriented emphasis, it focuses on core topics and common conditions, and will have a wide general interest. Written in a reader friendly, concise style, with extensive use of bulleted lists, revision boxes, clinical cases, data interpretation, and four color throughout with numerous line illustrations and clinical photographs.
I am writing to say how much I enjoyed reading Symptoms and Signs in Clinical MedicineIt is clear, beautifully illustrated, and it admirably fulfils the objective of being instructive. I wish it had been available when I was a student, but that was a long time ago.

I remember how it felt as a medical student coming to the ward for the first time. Your head is full of anatomy, biochemistry and the like but the challenge from now on will be a real patient-with symptoms, social circumstances and signs. What you need is a friendly and reliable guide. Failing a senior colleague with ample time, Gray and Toghill's Introduction to Symptoms and Signs in Clinical Medicine will serve the purpose very well. A good aspect of this book is that all the chapters are short and the subheadings are frequent. Besides, there are numerous boxes named revision panels and practical-points boxes that highlight the most important not-to-forget principles; and lots of diagrams and pictures accompany the text. Although Gray and Toghill's book may not be as comprehensive as some of the academic classics on clinical examination, it is more practical and memorable. Clearly the authors know how students feel and what they look for.
