Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with "on the go", at a highly affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.
Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc) Clinical skills (patient examination, etc.) Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine)
Key Points
Practical, accessible guide to examining the patient, which remains the bedrock of diagnosis and clinical evaluation Consistent chapter organisation: each body system chapter starts with relevant basic science, then highlights key signs before summarising examination technique Lavishly illustrated with clinical photographs, summary tables and tips boxes.
