Clinical Examination CD-Rom

by Owen Epstein, David P. de Bono, G. David Perkin

The electronic format enlivens the underlying science by turning the structure and function illustrations into animation. For instance, the video shows real-life examples of exam technique, such as organ palpation, examination of the lymph nodes, and inspection of hand muscles for carpal tunnel syndrome. The audio illustrates the examination of the respiratory system, such as heart sounds. Animations bring life to static illustrations in the book, such as blood flow direction in abdominal vein walls. With simple navigation and exquisite visuals, this CD encourages exploration and incorporates self-testing.

I bought this textbook as a first year medical student on a recommendation from a friend in a higher year level. This is my most regretted purchase so far and I seldom use this textbook. I subsequently bought Clinical Examination: A Systematic Guide to Physical Diagnosis and I now use it exclusively as my physical examination textbook.

lots of visually stimulating content by way of the excellent collection of clinical photographs but otherwise lacking. the one thing i liked about it most was the beginning where the authors detail out problem oriented medical record taking.
