The perfect companion to Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking, this practical study resource uses actual case vignettes to help you enhance your physical examination, diagnostic, and critical thinking skills.
Following the structure of the parent textbook, most chapters feature one or more case vignettes, providing a chief complaint and a brief medical history. Based on this information, you'll then select the appropriate physical exam techniques, integrate informatin from the patient's history and physical exam, and formulate hypotheses leading to a differential diagnosis.
