4.0 out of 5 stars
better than i thought
Initially I wrote a scathing review of this book because it said some things I didnt like about physical exams, how worthless they are. But as I got into the book chapter by chapter, I found it to be very useful and informative for docs like me who have been practicing a long time and might not be up on the latest information. A lot of scholarly work went into this review...

notice wrong specificity definition in biostatistics chapter 4
I read chapter 4 biostatistics first, and noticed a serious error in the definition of specificity on page 43. Specificity should be D/(B+D), not B/(B+D). Chapter 4 is not well organized, and comprehensive enough. I am disappointed since this is already the 5th edition.

This review is from: The Cleveland Clinic Intensive Review of Internal Medicine (Paperback)
Initially I wrote a scathing review of this book because it said some things I didnt like about physical exams, how worthless they are. But as I got into the book chapter by chapter, I found it to be very useful and informative for docs like me who have been practicing a long time and might not be up on the latest information. A lot of scholarly work went into this review and I hope that it will provide me with what I need for the boards. After all, that is its main purpose. I am assuming, though the authors dont say so--that the editors have made it their business to focus on what will be on the exam as there is an awful lot of stuff to absorb. It is a great review for the practicing clinician who might not be so familiar with concepts outside of his or her field, particularly for PCPs who in the real (U.S.) world rarely practice without the use of specialists and therefore may not be up on the latest information in the subspecialties.
