Essential Examination, fourth edition Reviews

Highly recommended for clinical medical students
I rarely write a rave review but this one is warranted. This textbook is AMAZING. It helped me do really well in my third year OSCE. It features all the core and specialties examinations and has a detailed list like description of all the steps you need to take to complete each examination. The best thing about this book is that it also has these summaries of key examination findings, and blank spaces for your own notes which make it even better than some of the other revision books out there.' Amazon reviewer


Invaluable, best 'book' I have bought for a long time
Bought this to help with my ANP course and it's becoming invaluable. Love the way that it tells you exactly how the examination should be carried, why you are palpating/auscultating or percussing (extra information/potential findings) You then turn the page and it gives you differentials based on what you have found on your examination. There's room for your own notes as well. Love it! Amazon reviewer


I love it !!!!
I love the fact that this book is really condensed - has everything that you need to know about each examination in a couple of pages. Highly recommended to all medical students out there! Amazon reviewer


Essential med school purchase!
Bought this for med school OSCEs. Best book I've bought so far and I've bought a LOT of books.
It has a list of things you should be doing and explains why you're doing them.
Easy to understand and well written. Amazon reviewer


Excellent purchase for clinical examination
Excellent for medical students (clinical years mainly). Gives the reasons for every sign we check for (useful for examiners' questions in OSCEs) and also gives differential diagnosis. Probably the best book for Clinical examinations. Was recommended for 3rd years by many 4th and final year medical students. Amazon reviewer


Brilliant
The best and only book you need for undergraduate OSCE revision. Used this for my finals this year and it was brilliant, wish I'd come across it sooner actually. Can't recommend enough. Amazon reviewer
