Textbook of Physical Diagnosis: History and Examination With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access

For more than a decade, Textbook of Physical Diagnosis has detailed how to derive the maximum diagnostic information from interviewing and examining patients. Now the text that has been labeled "the Gray's Anatomy of physical diagnosis" returns in a New Edition that continues to emphasize a "patient first" philosophy. The New Edition features a more colorful, user-friendly format · a DVD-ROM with video clips of actual examination techniques · and access to the entire text online, links to bonus online content, and more. And, at no extra charge, purchasers also receive online access to the complete contents of the text via Elsevier's innovative studentconsult.com website.
