This well-illustrated book provides detailed guidance on all aspects of physical examination in patients requiring emergency or intensive care. After an introductory section covering basic principles and the recognition of pre-terminal signs, the approach to examination of individual organ systems is clearly explained. Examination schemes are then presented for particular conditions or settings, including respiratory distress, shock, neurological disease, trauma, suspected infection, and cardiac arrest. The skill of physical examination has become the forgotten art of medicine in both undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Furthermore, most books on the topic have so far focused on examination practices applicable to non-critically ill patients. In emergency and intensive care medicine, however, a different approach and sometimes also different examination techniques are required due to the life-threatening disease process. In summarizing knowledge and providing guidance on physical examination in this specific subgroup of patients, this book will meet the needs of all physicians and allied health care professionals involved in the care of critically ill patients.

Fully revised, this is an updated new edition of a much-loved book which has built a reputation for pithy, entertaining good sense over the course of six editions. 'Children are different. Paediatrics is much more than medicine miniaturised.' From reviews of the previous edition: 'All in all a very handy book for the student, the resident or other professionals working with children. I had a lot of fun reading it.' 'The book is full of wonderful illustrations, and funny and profound advice with quotations, like the words of Sir Dominic Corrigan (1853): "The trouble with many doctors is not that they do not know enough but that they do not see enough", or the advice to teach thy tongue to say" "I do not know" (Rabbi Moses Maimonides or Rambam, 1135-1204). I have used this book for my final medical year paediatrics exams, the DCH and the MRCP and it has been a great help. It reminds us of the most important and basic things - history and examination, and of course a friendly demeanour.' - Short, manageable chapters - Clinical examples of examination techniques - Very helpful tips and topics section - Clinical checklists - Simply illustrated - Updated throughout - New section of 'questions of fives' questions - Short glossary of Latin terms

'The MRCS Clinical Examination is the final requirement to obtain the professional qualification for the Intercollegiate Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons. This Membership allows the transition from doctor to surgeon and a career in higher surgical training. This standardised clinical examination requires candidates to demonstrate their ability in examining patients, with effective and clear communication. 'The authors should be commended on producing a book that covers all clinical sections of the Examination, in such a concise, comprehensive and structured manner.This study guide will serve as your personal tutor working closely with you, prompting and providing pointers to improve your examination technique. It includes dozens of clinical scenarios, demonstrating how to examine the system and avoid common mistakes. In addition, the candidates can improve their communication skills, which is an integral part of this Examination. This book complements the "Insider Medical MRCS Clinical Course". It simulates the actual test conditions by providing sample cases and answers, coupling identification of weaknesses and strengths. This book will also prove to be extremely valuable for the new-style MRCS OSCE' - Nigel Mendoza in his Foreword.
