There are lots of books out there now for Med students or anyone involved in the medical field to learn about proper Hx taking and physical exam.But clearly this book stands out. Now in it's 9th ed, it comes also with a CD containing videos demonstrating those PE techniques. I'm already done with my residency and finished Med school about a decade ago, but was 'forced' to buy this new edition as I would be teaching Med students Hx taking and Physical diagnosis.I needed to refresh all of those stuff that I learned before,and with this book it made everything easy. Proper techniques of physical examination were clearly described and most of them are illustrated well. The book also shows expected normal findings, and associate those abnormal findings with certain diseases and pathology that they can be seen.
I strongly recomned this book to those who really wanted to learn the proper, correct way of physical examination.It's well worth it-something you'll use throughout your career (like the Dubin book for EKGs).

I am a first year medical student and use this book in our physical diagnosis course. I found this book easy to read with good illustrations. Diagrams were useful in understanding the text. I found the heart sounds CD to be extremely useful in understanding the cardiac cycle and how it relates to heart murmurs. I haven't seen other physical diagnosis textbooks but I can say that this one is very user friendly.

This is an excellent textbook!!! I have used this book as a student and to help prepare my student for a health assessment check off and for their test. This book has been a valued resource in my library for the past 10 years. I have purchased 3 editions of this textbook over this period of time. I highly recommend this textbook for advanced students and professional healthcare members.

Bates' is the a very good source for information on physical exam and history taking. It provides clinical explanations for things such as systolic murmurs and heart sounds.
