Review

"This book has all the essential information that a primary physician needs, relating to history taking and physical examination of patients, as well as developing a positive and effective relationship with them based on mutual understanding. It is well organized, with textual and visual materials including high-quality boxes, charts, drawings, micrographs, photos, and tables. You’ll also find tabs on page edges to quickly refer to something. At the end of this book, you will find a References and Readings section for deeper studying of abnormalities, anomalies, conditions, diseases, and disorders. You will also find a Glossary to under the meanings of unfamiliar terms or get the exact meanings of familiar terms." ~Nano Khilnani
