Review

"The design makes it easy to find information without a long search. Many tables, illustrations, and photos add to the relevance of the information." "This is a useful addition to any primary care practitioner's library and experienced providers can refer to it when they need a refresher. Students and residents will find the book tremendously helpful when attempting to grasp the anatomy, physical exam skills, and differential diagnostic skills that are needed to provide quality care for active patients. Teachers of this material also have an excellent tool that can serve as a framework for curriculum or as a concise review of clinical problems." (Doody's )
