Description:
  1. Hutchison’s Clinical Methods, first published over a century ago, is the classic textbook on clinical skills. It provides an outstanding source of learning and reference for undergraduate medical students and postgraduate doctors. It seeks to teach an integrated approach to clinical practice, so that new methods and investigations are grafted onto established patterns of clinical practice, rather than added on as something extra. The text is organised so that both system-related and problem-oriented chapters are included. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of the doctor-patient relationship, the essential skills needed for clinical examination, and for planning the appropriate choice of investigations in diagnosis and management.
Key Features:
  1. Provides a comprehensive account of the traditional methods of patient history-taking and examination but updated with a full account of the role of modern investigative techniques.
  2. A book for students of all ages and all degrees of experience.
  3. The most comprehensive account of clinical methods on the market.

Abstract:
A textbook on clinical skills. It provides a source of learning and reference for undergraduate medical students and postgraduate doctors. It seeks to teach an integrated approach to clinical practice, so that new methods and investigations are grafted onto established patterns of clinical practice, rather than added on as something extra.
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 recognise the current debate where some decry clinical examination because of the lack of evidence Preface 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 vi 2013
