Customer Reviews: Finally, evidence! November 29, 2008James Frick (Traverse CIty, Michigan USA) You no longer have to rely on what your professor told you, just because he told you. Many "Facts" are dispelled and others proven, but with evidence, not opinion. Experience of academic providers is of course helpful, but evidence is more satisfying in actual patient care. Some surprises in long-held "traditional teachings" Excellent book August 5, 2008Sukhwinder Singh 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I used many books for Physical exam, but during my first year residency I found out about this book. I love this book it is evidence based and tell you what to look for in PE. I recommend this book to all residents. Clasico July 28, 2008Hector Hugo Parra Riffo (Santiago,Chile) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful Tengo la edicion anterior. Este libro se concentra en explicar el mecanismo y el significado de los mas importantes signos y sintomas de los enfermos. No es solo una guia. La diferencia fundamental con otros libros de su clase, es que el Prof. McGee es un maestro para ensenar estas materias. Por fin uno logra entender, comprender el examen fisico y su significado.Se da por fin esa rara combinacion de talento y erudicion.Este libro va al centro del proceso educativo:comprension. Para quienes interese aprender y recordar el arte del examen fisico, este libro es un clasico. This is a real gem of a book. July 15, 2007Queen Camilla (Seattle, WA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful I already own a number of physical assessment books so I was resisting buying this one until I went to my hospital library and picked the first edition off the shelf. Half hour later I decided to buy the second edition through Amazon. I wouldn't recommend it as a first level physical assessment book, but once you've learned general physical assessment skills this is a great book to own if you're studying or attempting to improve your skills in physical diagnosis. It has helped me to focus some of my assessment skills in critical care nursing as well as in advanced practice nursing outside of critical care. I also refer to it frequently in preparing physical assessment classes to critical care nurses. My husband, a professor of medicine, gives it five stars as well! | |||||||||||
