Mosby's Guide to Physical Examination is a comprehensive textbook of physical examination, history-taking, and health assessment with a unique emphasis on differential diagnosis and variations across the lifespan. The book conveys a uniquely compassionate, patient-centered approach to physical examination with a strong evidence-based foundation.
Very thorough and detailed. Easy to read and follow. As a person mostly interested in pediatrics, I am always a bit miffed at the small blurbs at the end of the chapter describing any changes for children, but this was a little more detailed. The chapter in the back summarizing how to complete an entire exam on a pediatric patient was very thorough and appreciated.
