Synopsis

Highly Commended (Neurology category), BMA Awards 2005.
Neurological clinical examinations are one of the most intimidating procedures a medical student has to perform. This book sets out to demystify it, and, as is shown by the spectacular success of the previous editions, succeeds admirably. It offers a concise and highly illustrated guide to the clinical examination of the nervous system for medical students and junior doctors.

A concise and lucid explanation of how to examine the nervous system.

Copiously illustrated with clear line diagrams and flow charts.

Instructions are clear and systematic - what to do, what you will find, and what it means.

History taking section will be slightly enlarged - students often have more problems with this area than anything else.

Will include comments on the evidence base for examination, (and the need for more of it).

Section at end of book on the neurological examination in an exam setting, the types of cases that are used and how to approach them.

Review

If I hadn't been sent this book to review, I would have almost certainly bought it. That's how good it is.
BMA Awards 2005

[This] textbook provides a simple framework for how to perform a straightforward neurological examination up to house officer level. the book is well set out in concise chapters, with useful and easy to understand diagrams to back up the text. There is also a useful chapter on how to pass neurological examinations at finals level. Very useful as a reference text for third years and upwards.
3rd Year Medical Student, Sphincter - Liverpool Medical Magazine, November 2004

There are few books which are recommended student to student by word of mouth. This is one of those few books. This book not only provides clear, step by step instruction on how to examine, but also provides some information on what the findings could mean. The text is clearly and concisely written. It is brilliantly organised into sub-headings, bold-lettering and bullet points, making it easy to find the information you are looking for, and fast!
