This classic textbook sets out clearly and concisely how to evaluate symptoms and elicit relevant physical signs. It describes the practical skills which every clinician must acquire and develop in order to evolve diagnostic procedures and management strategies and plans. The book starts with a general section on the principles of history taking and the general examination that provides the framework for a patient examination. The second system-based examination section documents the relevant history, examination and investigations for all the major body systems. A newly arranged third section covers history and examination in specific situations and emphasises an integrated and structured approach to these patients. A final section spells out how to put the techniques learned in the book into use both in clinical practice and when preparing for assessment. Available with access to ancillary videos demonstrating key clinical examination routines following the format laid out in the book. A new editorial team have radically revised the contents and format of this Fourteenth Edition. Several new chapters have been created as a result of a radical revision of the order and approach of the book. These include a chapter on patients with mental illness; a chapter on examining the frail elderly; a chapter on the key issues to be considered when examining a deteriorating patient; and a new chapter on preparing for clinical practice. The structure of the text has been rationalised with a more balanced use of boxes, tables and figures to set out the concepts more clearly.show more

Macleod's Clinical Diagnosis demonstrates how to apply the core clinical skills learned from the companion textbook Macleod's Clinical Examination to maximum advantage. Charting the course from routine work-up to diagnosis, this book presents a modern and realistic approach to clinical assessment and explains how to integrate information obtained from the history, examination, bedside tests and specialised investigations. The first section Principles of clinical assessment examines different approaches to diagnosis, reviews the fundamental elements necessary for accurate patient assessment, provides a helpful template for a 'routine workup' and describes how to adapt the assessment to fit the clinical context. The second core section of the book Assessment of common presenting problems contains a series of 'diagnostic guides' that lead the reader, step-by-step through the major presenting problems in medicine and surgery, explaining how to recognise red flag features, eliminate life-threatening conditons and generate a logical differential diagnosis. This book has been praised as an invaluable resource for senior medical students and junior doctors as they attempt to make the difficult transition from mastering basic clinical skills to assessing patients in the real world of clinical medicine. A unique book allowing a reader to apply the skills of clinical examination in the formulation of a differential diagnosis and placing a patient's symptoms in context. Takes a problem-based approach to diagnostic reasoning, reflecting both modern medical and current educational practices. Builds on the clinical skills outlined in the companion Macleod's Clinical Examination textbook.show more
