Summary: A Complete Book with an even better CD
Comment: I am a first year med student who used the Swartz book for my physical diagnosis course (the class recommended Bates, but I found the material to be too basic; one would NOT be able to refer to that book once they passed introductory level). Swartz has great pictures of pathologic diseases, and also includes pictures to guide you through the actual physical (those pictures are taken from the CD that shows you step-by-step how to do a physical). One of the main things I found refreshing was that he tells you when some procedures are unnecessary because they just don't yield much information. Swartz tells you what to do, what to look for, how to accomplish both, and then he SHOWS you with the CD. I personally loved this book, and I will refer to it (and the CD) to freshen up on the techniques that I have learned. My teacher even said that she still refers to Swartz! Definitely a great buy.

Summary: Great book with free CD-ROM
Comment: This is the best book on physical diagnosis (4th edition). It is clearly written with great color photographs. All of my friends have used it and love it also. The new CD-ROM which is included with the text is a really nice feature. It is about 2 hours long and shows the complete physical examination of both the man and the woman. It is really cool since it also shows the internal parts of the exam (retina and tympanic membrane, for example). There are also clear graphics and picture-in-picture added to the CD-ROM for clarity of various aspects of the examination. The CD-ROM is easy to navigate, and you can jump from area to area easily. I have looked at all the other books, and none comes close to Swartz. Get it; you won't be sorry!

Summary: AWESOME- a must-have for med students!
Comment: I'm a second year med student who was completely clueless about physical diagnosis until I got this book/CD package. Our classes and preceptor sessions were just way too disorganized for me to really learn how to perform a physical exam. This package is a bit [costly], but trust me, it's worth every penny for the CD alone. The CD has video of a complete 2-hour physical examination, including male and female exams. The author walks you through each step in great detail as he examines the patient. The camera angles are up-close, so you actually get to see what's going on (in fact, you can see better than you would next to a live preceptor). 2 hours watching this CD taught me way more than hundreds of hours spent in class, reading textbooks, and with preceptors. Best of all, I can watch the video over and over again, until I really feel like I have a good grasp of it- without worrying about taking up too much of the patient's time or making a fool of myself in front of the preceptor. If you're still struggling with physical diagnosis- e.g., wondering exactly where your stethoscope goes or how to palpate an abdomen, etc.- get this book NOW!
