EDITORIAL REVIEW

Carefully teaches students the steps in history taking, the most important part of the clinical examination!

5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This is a well organized and comprehensive book that teaches a systematic approach to the establishment of a differential diagnosis by maximizing the information that can be collected and developed from a patient's history....This book is ideal for medical students, housestaff, and any clinicians dedicated to refining their skills in this area....Students will find this book very useful in guiding them through the common presenting symptoms that bring patients to medical attention. By systematically reviewing the information attained to formulate a differential diagnosis, taking into account prevalence data, associated causes, likelihood ratios of alarm symptoms and such, students will cultivate the discipline helping them to perform at the highest level."--Doody's Review Service

The best feature of this book for me was that it offered examples of real questions to ask during the medical interview.

Great source for history algorithms and epidemiological data to guide clinical expectations

Presentation-specific chapter headings guide the reader through dozens of common chief complaints in an organized and methodical (system-based) manner. While initially intimidating, this text has earned its place in my medical bag. It has repeatedly proven just as useful in the clinic as in the classroom...just like any text should, but often fails to achieve. My only request is that the authors extend the portability of this text by providing reference flashcards or possibly a pocket-sized companion text.

.......... This book is the best book for 2nd and 3rd year students who are interacting with patients for the first time. the hardest part about taking a history is knowing what questions to ask. this book TELLS YOU. It's organized by system and by Chief complaint, each section includes a well thought out DDx, and a list of questions you should ask and what it mean if the patient says yes. it also tells you what physical signs to look for and what lab tests to order. Your presentations and H&Ps will through and you will understand why you ask all those silly questions in the first place.
