Oxford Handbook of Clinical Examination and Practical Skills, 1st Edition - Thomas James, Monaghan Tanya


Oxford Handbook of Clinical Examination and Practical Skills, 1st Edition - Thomas James, Monaghan Tanya  

The first three chapters cover the basics of communication skills, history taking and general physical examination. Chapters 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 and 14 are divided by systems. In each of these there is a section on the common symptoms seen in that system, with the appropriate questions to ask the patient, details of how to examine parts of that system, and important patterns of disease presentation. Each of these system chapters is finished off with an ‘elderly patient’ page provided by Dr Richard Fuller. Following the systems, there are chapters on paediatric and psychiatric patients—something not found in many other books of this kind. The penultimate chapter—practical procedures—details all those tasks that junior doctors might be expected to perform. Finally, there is an extensive ‘data interpretation’ chapter which, whilst not exhaustive, tries to cover those topics such as ECG, ABG, and X-ray interpretation that may appear in a final ‘OSCE’ examination.
