Review:	"While aimed at medical students, it is a useful resource for nursing students, experienced nurses returning to clinical practice and the wider healthcare team." Macleod's Clinical Examination has become one of the foremost texts on Clinical examination available on the market with medical schools hospitals & doctors around the world using this text to improve their clinical examination methodology. Though Macleod the original author of this text is now gone this title still bears his name and with this most recent edition to maintain it's place as the authoritative text on the market has seen many revisions to it's content and structure. The greatest advantages that are now present in this most recent edition are the addition of the new OSCE preparation section. On reading the title this does appear to have the makings of what could be a fantastic new component to this title in this section you are given a station such as 'The Endocrine Station' and then examples of common presentations/tasks before being given details on common omissions & difficulties on this station. In this reviewers opinion having used other texts such as "Clinical Skills for OSCEs" this section does not quite hold all the advantages of this text if you wish to use it to prepare for the OSCE. What would be good to see in following editions would be the addition of further videos to the online library that demonstrate common OSCE stations for the student as currently the videos only give some of the examinations & then how to do them on the ward with no advice for the OSCE where you may have between a 5-10 minute station to get history &/or examination done. The further advantage of this text is the close integration with the two other texts in the Davidson's family. The disadvantage of this text would be as mentioned above and also the price of this text as there are certainly other texts available on the market that are cheaper for the students already stretched wallet if you are happy to forgo the videos or would rather have more specific titles for OSCE. If this is the case then you could potentially consider the above title and/or "Clinical Skills Explained: From basics to OSCEs". In conclusion I would certainly commend this book to any/all medical students as being one of the most authoritative texts on clinical skills available on the market. Why not get it out from your university library if they have a copy and then if you agree with me purchase your own copy of this title so that you can access the online resources? Competing Interests: Student Reviewer - Received Gratis Copy of this title. "The book is extremely well laid out with each chapter covering a different system and a basic review of the relevant anatomy prior to exploring symptoms associated with pathology to that system and the physical examination. Althought it may look a little intimidating at first, this book manages to deliver crucial information ( especially for OSPE revision) without losing the simplicity which makes it so readable."MedSaint, January 2013

Included on the Student Consult site are the specially-recorded videos demonstrating many of the clinical examination routines described in the main text.
Key Features:	The book starts with a general overview section on history taking and the general examination that provide the framework on which to hang the detail. The systematic examination section documents clearly the relevant history, examination and special investigations as well as giving advice on their significance. The third section covers examination in specific situations and emphasises an integrated and structured approach to these patients. A final section spells out how to demonstrate the techniques learned in the book in an OSCE. Macleod’s is closely linked to its sister publication, Davidson’s Principles & Practice of Medicine, which complements the information in this text. Available with full online access on Student Consult and ancillary videos demonstrating key clinical examination routines following the format laid out in the book.
Summary:	This book will show you how to: . talk with a patient . take the history from the patient . examine a patient . formulate your findings into differential diagnoses and rank these in order of probability . use investigations to support or refute your differential diagnosis Macleod's Clinical Examination builds on the critical success of the previous edition by describing the practical skills that every clinician must acquire and develop in order to evolve diagnostic procedures and management strategies and plans. The book is divided into three sections: (i) a general overview section on history taking and the general examination provides the framework on which to hang the detail, (ii) the systematic examination section documents clearly the relevant history, examination and special investigations as well as giving advice on their significance, (iii) the final section covers specialised areas and emphasises an integrated and structured approach to these patients. A bonus DVD contains specially-recorded videos demonstrating many of the clinical examination routines as they are described in the main text. Written by a team of editors and contributors who are all active clinicians and experts in their specialist fields.
Abstract:	Being able to take an effective medical history and perform a useful clinical examination are essential skills. This classic text guides students through the acquisition of these skills and the subsequent examination process.
Preface:	The skills of history taking and physical examination are central to the practice of clinical medicine. This book describes these and is intended primarily for medical undergraduates. It is also of value to primary care and postgraduate hospital doctors, particularly those studying for higher clinical examinations or returning to clinical practice. The book is also an essential reference for nurse practitioners and other paramedical staff who are involved in medical assessment of patients. This edition has four sections: Section 1 details the principles of history taking and general examination; Section 2 covers symptoms and signs in individual system examinations; Section 3 reviews specific situations; and a new Section 4 deals with how to apply these techniques in an OSCE. The text has been extensively revised and edited, with two new chapters on the frail elderly and the febrile adult. The number of illustrations has been increased and many have been updated. Line drawings illustrate surface anatomy and techniques of examination; over 330 photographs show normal and abnormal clinical appearances. We recognize the current debate where some decry clinical examination because of the lack of evidence supporting many techniques. Where evidence exists, however, we highlight this in a new feature for this edition: evidence-based examination boxes (EBEs). We are convinced of the need to acquire and hone clinical examination skills to avoid unnecessary expensive and potentially harmful over-investigation. Nevertheless, there is a need to evaluate rigorously many clinical symptoms and signs. It is possible to open this book at almost any page and find a topic which cries out for evidence-based analysis. We continue to hope that the book will stimulate this enquiry and would encourage these responses and incorporate them in future editions. This 13th edition of Macleod’s Clinical Examination – full text, illustrations and videos – is available in an online version, as part of Elsevier’s ‘Student Consult’ electronic library. It is closely integrated with Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine, and is best read in conjunction with that text. G.D. F.N. C.R. Edinburgh and Aberdeen 2013
