Editorial Review:

Now with access to full text online plus many other extras - this title is posted on studentconsult.com. Access is via unique pin number in front of book. The new 4th edition of this one-of-a-kind, humanistic text has been thoroughly updated to reflect the most current standards of physical diagnosis. Its core philosophy approaches the patient as a person suffering from disease, rather than an entity in which disease manifests. All chapters have been reviewed and revised, with a new chapter on nutrition that shows readers how to apply nutritional principles to the practice of medicine. New colour images replace many old black-and-white images, and more than 200 new colour photographs of pathological conditions enhance this edition.An accompanying CD-ROM includes a video demonstration of the complete physical examination of a man and the breast and pelvic examinations of a woman. Cross-referencing between the book and CD-ROM create a comprehensive clinical reference package designed to help readers identify basic pathophysiology and provide holistic patient care.

Excellent CD:

The CD that comes with this book is very handy while learning exams. I have not really used the book however because Bates seems to be the standard that most schools are using.

Informative, but SEXIST:

The authors do not hesitate to tell the reader that two of the four women that were photographed for the section on breast cancer (half) were in complete denial of their condition. They remark that both women presented to the clinic with horrific and obvious cancers that they supposedly only noticed the "day before." While denial is an important aspect of breast cancer (and many other conditions), the authors limit the discussion of denial to women only.
