Product Description

Product Description

HIGHLY COMMENDED IN THE MEDICINE CATEGORY IN THE BMA 2006 MEDICAL BOOK COMPETITION!

The 11th Edition of this famous medical textbook, first published in 1964, has been extensively rewritten and expanded by a new team of 3 editors and 22 authors who are all active clinicians and experts in their specialist fields.

Macleod's Clinical Examination describes the practical skills every clinician must acquire and develop in order to evolve diagnostic procedures and management strategies and plans. Its main purpose is to document and explain how to:
  • talk with a patient
  • take the history from the patient
  • examine a patient
  • formulate your findings into differential diagnoses and rank these in order of probability
  • use investigations to support or refute your differential diagnosis.
    • The book has three sections:

    Section One details the principles of history taking, general examination and the external features of disease.

    Section Two comprises the systems chapters which are laid out in the same order.
  • A brief introduction setting the scene
  • Definitions and common symptoms
  • The History, what questions to ask and how to follow them up
  • The Clinical Examination, what and how to examine
  • Investigations:
  • those done at the patient's side (near-patient tests)
  • laboratory investigations
  • invasive investigations including X-rays
  • All chapters include sample OSCE stations and summaries of key points emphasising good practice
  • Section Three is entirely new and relates to the patient as a whole; the first outlines the examination of the neonate, preschool and primary school child, while the second covers the approach to the critically ill patient. Both chapters emphasize an integrated and structured approach to these patients.
  • This new edition of Macleod's Clinical Examination is the most comprehensive yet covering aspects of history taking and physical signs in every system including examination of the Critically Ill Patient.
  • It should be of value to:
  • Medical students training to be effective doctors.
  • Established doctors studying for postgraduate examinations including MRCP (UK) PACES.
  • General Practitioners wishing to update their skills in all aspects of clinical examination.
    • Nurse practitioners both in primary and secondary care involved in patient assessment.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Stuck for christmas presents?!! = ), 11 Nov 2005
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL READING - CONFIDENCE AND COMPETENCE AT EXAMINATION, 29 Sep 2005
    I am a 4th year medical student in Scotland and find this book to be a real treasure. It is a vast improvement over the rather tiresome previous edition. Some of the same content, but far more pictures demonstrating examination technique, integration of great anatomy diagrams together with nice 'examination sequence' sections. These take you step by step through the process and make it easy to remember.The only criticism I have is that there may be too many diagrams and colour for some people who enjoy reading paragraphs of unhindered text, but for me it strikes a good balance.

    Many incredible clinical pictures to remind you what exactly you are in medicine for. The pictures show many interesting signs of what you may find on examination and help you picture the signs that everyone looks for. This is the one textbook I goto when I am bored with wading through pages of black and white text. Well laid out and entertaining, it is ESSENTIAL for OSCE revision. Combining the vital points of history and examination, it will help you feel more confident when the big day comes!

    4.0 out of 5 stars beautifully presented, detailed but not laborious, 7 Nov 2005
    I used this title for many years and have recently acquired the latest edition.
    I find it useful for developing a sound base in examining patients through its cocktail of physiologica, anatomical and practical information. Its very well presented and mostly comprehensive. The new edition is actually much better; with new chapters on examining ears and children, essential stuff nowadays.

    The examination routines are not particlarly practical in the way they are presented and necessitate either a good teacher or another small more focused book.

    The authors have also tried to make it more OSCE and MRCP freindly by including various abbreviated examination routines for partuclar instructions.
    Having sat finals, and now approaching the MRCP i have to say its not a useful book for learning short cases or long cases. Its useful as a foundation but you need other books for cases. I still consult it when i forget exactly how the JVP is measured etc.
