Review:
"The book is part of the Oxford Handbook series (like the cheese and onion) and will therefore be familiar to the majority of students. Being a handbook is particulary useful and means it'll fit in most pockets without trouble... To finish this excellent piece of work, Thomas and Monaghan have
included a chapter on interpretation - going through most of radiology, clinical chemistry and not forgetting the dreaded ECGs."

"The simple organization, the pertinent historical cues a practitioner should be looking for, the completeness of the descriptions of the physical findings, supported by the excellent graphics, makes this one of the best books on physical examination available. I highly recommend it to medical
educators and medical students, residents and attendings. There is much to be learned by those at all levels of training from this well-organized, well-written book... 5 stars!"
--Doody's Notes, November 2014
"This is a valuable handbook that is well worth the investment."
--Doody's Notes, May 2014
"This handbook is one I wish I were able to author. It is clearly one of the best with its accurate and comprehensive fund of knowledge and its emphasis on the human aspect, written by compassionate educators. I highly recommend it to all clinicians on both sides of the Atlantic."
--Vincent F Carr Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences
"Incredibly helpful in almost all situations, information well laid out and easy to find, engaging to read ... useful asides to aid memorisation, essential algorithms/reference intervals helpfully situated on front and back inside covers; a generally excellent and clearly very well-thought-out
book."
--Tom Dalton, University of Birmingham, UK
"I very much appreciated the very human and caring aspect it brings to clinical medicine, it's lovely to have the dry, biomedical material broken up with humorous, motivational and touching stories."
--Sam Siljee, University of Otago, New Zealand
"THE best book that a medical student could ever use. Everything is so easy to find, and is just enough depth for me!"
--Alexander Wibberley, 3rd year medical student, University of Leeds
