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.
