Review
"I am not aware of any other books that have presented an approach to the patient with a neurological problem in such a clear and thoughtful fashion. I found this book extremely well written and shall certainly recommend it to students and residents."--Doody's
Product Description
Medical students, junior doctors in training, non-neurological specialists and general practitioners will all be faced with patients exhibiting neurological symptoms at some point in their career. This book describes a number of simple approaches to examining patients with common neurological problems seen in both the clinical setting, and in college examinations such as the MRCP here in the UK and the FRACP in Australia. The neurological examination is different from the examination of most other body systems in one important respect - there is no single approach which is appropriate for all cases. This poses a particular problem to the inexperienced clinician - how to tailor their examination to the problem in hand. In this book, the reader will find a sensible and practical approach to what most non-neurologists to find daunting, and hints on the most useful things to do when assessing a patient with neurological signs.
The second edition will include general updates throughout and completely new chapters on involuntary movements and apraxia. It will be accompanied by a companion CD of video clips illustrating much of what is dealt with in the text, and allowing improved coverage of complex topics such as speech, eye movements and gait.

Format:Paperback
This book is a little gem. It was suggested to me by one of my consultants when I was a third year medical student downunder many years ago. It not only brought the specialty of neurology alive, but made it fun and understandable. I've continued to refer to this book over the years, for medical student bedside teaching, for my own membership exams, and subsequently when I've taught others to prepare for membership exams. The problem is, I frequently lend it out to colleagues sitting for exams and have managed to lose track of it many times as they pass it onto their friends(and have therefore bought several replacement copies over the years!!). The book concentrates on a case- oriented approach and gives really useful tips at the end of each chapter. The book teaches how to approach neurology in the limited time given for a short case examination, it teaches good examination techniques and a method for how to approach a clinical problem so that you can get the most information out of your examination in a concise and logical manner. I've previously struggled to get hold of it in the UK, so am delighted to find there's now a 2nd edition available through Amazon.
