Product Description
Review
***2010 BMA Book Awards - Highly Commended - Medicine category*** "I found Macleod's Clinical Examination to be an excellent textbook. Despite its reasonable size there is a huge amount of clinically relevant information packed into this book. Throughout it is superbly illustrated with both photographs depicting signs and diagrams which support the text. . Its use of diagrams and photographs really engaged me as a reader and made it much easier to think about the clinical signs. It is well-laid-out and very clear with very useful clinical points. As a final year medical student I think this is the clearest and most engaging of the clinical examination books that I have previously used.'' "Judges comments"

i bought the 11th edition macleod's for my first year osce's and found it really usefull. at the beginning of each section on each system there is a nice picture of a person and a numbered list that shows you the order in which to do the exam e.g with the CV, start with general observation, then look at the hands, then the bp and pulses etc etc. and so forth. overall a really good book, would definitely recommend the 11th edition for any year medic.

Macleod's 11th edition is an exceptionally helpful learning tool for using both throughout the year for reference and more importantly when the OSCE time starts to draw closer! Admittedly, I often struggle to keep up with all the coursework and it is so easy to feel like your 6 foot under! However, I find this type of study aid a blessing!
Macleod's is extremely well organised, clear and concise which makes it very easy to refer to the exact area you want to consolidate. Each chapter introduces the particular system followed by how to take a through history and examination. The examination sequence has been constructed in a stepwise form with displaying colourful sketches of the correct technique to adapt. There is also boxed information which covers key points for differential diagnosis and what signs you should expect to find. The pictures are particularly useful when trying to learn about rare clinical conditions that you are very unlikely to be presented with on your ward teaching sessions as a medical student!
This book is especially great at helping medical students to become competent in clinical examination and history taking because it comprehensive explanations enable you to grasp a basic understanding.
