Physical examination, along with history-taking, forms the basis of diagnosis. Interpretation of the information obtained will determine whether further diagnostic tests are worthwhile, and if so, which ones. This book provides students, lecturers and practising doctors with a standard for physical examination.   Physical Diagnostics describes physical examination systematically. The relevant anatomy and physiology are set out, as these provide the basis for the proper technique of physical examination. The book also provides information on normal and abnormal findings and their clinical significance. In addition to the systematic descriptions of adult examination there are chapters on the physical examination of specific groups such as pregnant women, newborn babies, children and geriatric patients.   Videos of all the procedures described have been made, over 150 clips in total.
