Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-63846-1 (ISBN)
The Physical Exam: An Innovative Approach in the Age of Imaging offers a unique, step-by-step sequence for the physical exam. The text guides the clinician through a series of steps that involve observing, touching and listening - in an organized sequence, region by region - of all organ systems. The general approach is applicable to every physical examination and can be modified when appropriate. Express pathways are provided so that the clinicians can quickly assess the general health of the patient while focusing on the presenting problem. A major contribution to the diagnostic literature, the book offers a format and level of complexity that will be of significant value to internal medicine and family physicians, emergency professionals, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, and medical students.

"This book takes a fresh look at the routine physical examination. ... This approach is geared more toward experienced examiners who understand the traditional basics and can incorporate newer techniques to advance their knowledge of the physical examination. ... The book does take a new perspective and order of physical findings based upon the patient position, which would provide a time-saving advantage." (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2018)
