How exciting Macleod’s has made it into the: MEDICAL CLASSICS Section of The BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL : May 2009. Here are some extracts Clinical Examination by John Macleod
“Despite the book’s title its first mandate is the spoken art of history taking: the importance of an accurate one, the perils of a poor one, and the inexcusable “poor historian”. The most inspiring doctors have breathtaking vision, one moment passively surveying the patient’s entire human condition, the next seamlessly zooming in to the minutiae of their pathology. That is what places this book among the greats, as it trains the reader’s eye to share the same vision. If you wish to pass clinical exams, excel in the teaching of examination skills, and know your Schirmer’s test from your Schober’s, I would strongly recommend this book.”
