I am a Physician Assistant Student and i have to admit that every semester we are required to buy books and at the end of every semester i sell my books buy. This was the only one i did not sell back. Its great for a person who is beginning the medical field and is great for someone who just wants to brush up on technique. The CD located in the back of the books is really not that helpful because it skips critical parts of the physical exam however its good to see how to do certain things. Most of the books chapters are well organized except for the HEENT chapter bc its all over the place. However i LOVE my Bates and i still use it on clinical rotations.

Excellent reference and resource on physical assessment, plenty of illustrations, color photographs, and helpful tips for the APRN. The best assessment book I have purchased in my 35 years of nursing.

I am taking BSN courses and this text is required. The book includes a CD which I have not had the time to review.

The text is very good. It has a great flow from system to system. There are many color photos to explain the various findings. The book is through and I especially love the red text in the borders that explains the criticial thinking of the assessment coupled with the finding.

I own a Mosby's guide from my previous Nursing classes. I thought it was good until I purchased Bates. This is my new favorite examination text and one I will keep in my personal library for years to come.

This book is a great thorough guide to physical exam. Good for medical students just learning physical exam and for a reference book.

This is a great book to have for anyone that has to learn and write a history and physical or perform a physical exam on a patient. It is 'easy reading' and the pictures are quite helpful. It's a great book to learn with and as a reference for anyone that may need to brush up on their patient skills.

All the secrets, techiniques and information about physical examination are written in this marvelous book. Without a good physical examination, a physician is like a musician without inspiration.

Good book and a geat resource. This particular work places the patient History and exam in a logical and systematic approach with illustrations and study helps - a keeper.

Great book on physical examination and history taking. Will recommend to other healthcare/medical providers.
