Publisher's Synopsis
Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with "on the go", at a highly affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.
- Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc)
- Clinical skills (patient examination, etc.)
- Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine)
Key Points
- Practical, accessible guide to examining the patient, which remains the bedrock of diagnosis and clinical evaluation
- Consistent chapter organisation: each body system chapter starts with relevant basic science, then highlights key signs before summarising examination technique
- Lavishly illustrated with clinical photographs, summary tables and tips boxes
