5 stars, because it is simply the best for all medical students. To be good in clinical practice you have to build a systamic way to examine any patient, this book help you to build that system! Give you outline (with explinations and some illustrations) on examination of all body systems. For all medical students who want to start their clinical years, this book should be in your pocket from the first day! repeating reading this book (which is small) will help you to master most of the clinical skills.
