An Insider’s Guide to Clinical Medicine

by Archith Boloor, Anudeep Padakanti

The aim of this insider’s guide is to focus on clinical medicine. Medicine is a science, and an art. Clinical examination is fast becoming a forgotten art in the face of technological onslaught. This book is an important step in bringing the students back to the basics of clinical medicine. This book consists of 15 chapters, which include prerequisites for practical examination and common examination cases, general examination, respiratory system examination, cardiovascular system examination, gastrointestinal system, nervous system, rheumatology, comprehensive geriatric assessment, approach to psychiatric illness, simplified approach to ECG, a systematic approach to chest X-rays, basic instruments, spotters, and annexures. Many common concepts which are very pertinent and relevant for university clinical examinations are discussed in detail in this book. The crux of this book largely remains the same, along with some finer adjustments. Font sizes, color and page breaks have been adjusted to make reading easier. Authors have added a more detailed section on history-taking with some much-needed adjustments, especially with respect to patients that are different from the masses. The highlights from the previous book, the positive points which most of you gave very good feedback about have been left as it is—complete case sheets on all organ systems, with added emphasis on the common examination cases. A plethora of pictures make the visual experience of this book what it is, it also gave many of my interns a very interesting past time activity to run around the wards with a camera and a consent form. This book can be strongly recommended for students, teachers and practicing physicians.
