Summary: A wise and interesting mentor.
Comment: I have an enormous personal medical library, and this is hands down the best book I own. It is like making rounds with the most interesting, learned, and studious clinician you have ever met -- though I suspect many of us have never really met anyone of Sapira's polymathic virtuosity. The book is intelligent, clear, scientific, and fun. It doesn't read like a textbook -- it reads like a one-on-one seminar with a wise mentor; one who has "seen it all" and knows how to teach. Read this book, and you will be a far better clinician for having done so. Don't read it for Boards or exams; read it for your edification. I am an experienced neurologist -- and learned several neurological "pearls" from this book.

Summary: An excellent physical exam.book you actuallly enjoy reading!
Comment: I stumbled accross the first edition by accident. It was pure pleasure to read and learn from.This edition is equally stimulating. It is full of facts but the anecdotes and history associated with the physical signs takes the pain out of trying to remember dry facts. I found it most useful as a fellow when revising and now as a consultant when I have to look up a reference before teaching medical students or residents. I think that the Neurology section is a bit weak and I do think that there should be a bit more surface anatomy. Otherwise it is a worthwhile investment and like any good book make the time to read it and learn from it. It brings the ART back into physical examination.

Summary: Comprehensive guide to clinical examination
Comment: This book is a real eyeopener. It tells how to make a wide range of diagnosis at the bedside using only your hands, mind, and a few basic tools.
So you want to know everything about Hoovers sign in emphysema? Or Duroziez's sign in aortic insuffiency? How to tests for bence jones proteins using a microwave oven and a telephophone directory page? This book will tell you.
Every chapter has an extensive list of references. It is full of anecdotes and historical notes, making the book a pleasure to read.
It is a little weak on the clinical examination of the abdomen and the authors advise is not always possible to follow in a modern day clinical setting.
It would be particularly usefull to teachers in medical schools and doctors specializing in internal medicine.
All in all: It is a great book
