Despite the advanced technologies at our disposal today, a complete health history and physical examination remain the most crucial diagnostic tools in any healthcare practitioner's arsenal. And no one teaches these all-important skills better than Mark H. Swartz, MD, FACP. For nearly two decades, Dr. Swartz's textbook has shown readers how to derive the maximum diagnostic information from interviewing and examining patients. Using a compassionate, humanistic approach, Dr. Swartz explores how cultural differences can influence communication, diet, family relationships, and health practices and beliefs, and demonstrates that your interpersonal awareness is just as essential in physical diagnosis as your level of technical skill. In this 6th edition, a new chapter on the focused physical exam prepares you for the USMLE Step 2 CS and the OSCE. Over 3 hours of video on DVD demonstrate how to examine adult male and female patients as well as pediatric and geriatric patients. Plus you can access the complete contents of the book online.

This book is a goldmine. However I wish the delivery people would deliver it to my door and not to the front desk of where I live. The distance is the same. I have some paralysis from Multiple Sclerosis and it makes it very difficult to pick it up and the front desk just rectilinear sent out an note that their people are the for our protection and not to be delivery boys. This whole medical thing is a medical mess the hospital don't want you the rehabs want you but nickel and dime you for everything and the same goes for many folks in business. This is why America is going down hill. W So many of us have become takers. It is not like years ago when folks used to look out for each other. I am a retired physician nanny times poor farmers would come to my house at 6AM for a few stitches cause they couldn't afford the clinic bill even though they w worked from sun up to sun down getting miming wage from the government to trash their crops. Nab I charged $5 to see them up fn the really poor no charge. America we need to recapture that spirit. Teach our kids oo out to be takers but to think of others even if only a smile to another kid who has a hard time fitting in. OFFER THEM A meaningful ALTERNATIVE TO HANGING OUT AND Good Forbid drugging and drinking their life away let us adults be the example then with mutual respect for all maybe then we can reclaim Our American values in a world that has all by it forgotten God. All it takes us a th into act if Charity to start that ripple effect, like dropping off a book to a disabled persons door. None of us is insignificant in reclaiming not only America but entire suffering world.
Everything I see on TV is about death, evil, satanism, It is time to renounce these things and return to the Lord. Spend just 5 minutes day silently listening to him in your heart and watch your peace return. Laughing this ii is more than I have said in years.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best
Reviewed in the United States on 22 April 2014

Dr. Swartz' book is a must-have for any medical student or resident. It is often difficult to find enough time to learn the physical exam on the wards, and having a detailed book like this to fall back on is essential. Oftentimes, the people teaching you are doing the exam wrong, or are simply not doing it at all. Swartz' book is well-organized, has great pictures, and will walk you through any physical exam step that you want to gain more confidence in. The book is a great read and teaches a lot about pathophysiology and the medical interview as well. You won't regret buying this book!

The print is a bit small, but overall it's very comprehensive and the video's are an excellent addition to help review and learn the basics of physical exams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for nurse NP, PA, and medical students
Reviewed in the United States on 19 November 2013

This is a very good book to have if you really want to develop top notch assessment skills. You will find a lot of stuff in here that many doctors and nurse practitioners don't do anymore---not because the skills are obsolete but because they don't have time to do detailed head to to assessments on every patient anymore. But its still good to know how. The pictures and videos are more than worth the price of the book.
