5.0 out of 5 stars Much More Than Physical Diagnosis
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseI "learned" from the second edition of Bates; this is the eleventh edition. Much has been added. Goes well beyond physical diagnosis to include interviewing skills, "thinking like a doctor," pathophysiology, wonderful diagrams of physical findings and pictures of regional/systematic pathology, as well as preventive medicine pointers and some public health issue discussion.
This could well be the one book you might want to take to the proverbial deserted island if you wanted to cover as much of medical information as possible in one volume. And - it's not a "pubic-buster," but a concise but dense reference book for the practicing physician as well as a great learning book for health practitioner students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, concise yet info-dense. Overall excellent.
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseI give this book a 9/10. It has great content and is very well organized. The section on history taking is great and whatever I read actually sticks, making it easy for me to recall specific details while I'm with patients. The highlight of the book, I think, is the physical examination. Not only does it give you common concerns and history findings for specific systems, it also brings great examination techniques that are also easily recalled later on. Each chapter brings an amazing and super useful table section at the end which summarizes important concepts and possible findings. Another great thing is each chapter is packed with possible explanations to unusual findings in the physical examination. It also has lots of drawings. Overall, I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great delivery time
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseGreat delivery time, arrived earlier than expected. Book was a little bent on the corner and that detail was omitted from the description, but no highlights and writings. Almost as good as new and even has the CD with it.
