5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This is a well organized and comprehensive book that teaches a systematic approach to the establishment of a differential diagnosis by maximizing the information that can be collected and developed from a patient's history....This book is ideal for medical students, housestaff, and any clinicians dedicated to refining their skills in this area....Students will find this book very useful in guiding them through the common presenting symptoms that bring patients to medical attention. By systematically reviewing the information attained to formulate a differential diagnosis, taking into account prevalence data, associated causes, likelihood ratios of alarm symptoms and such, students will cultivate the discipline helping them to perform at the highest level."--Doody's Review Service

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent resource for CS and school assessments.
Reviewed in the United States on 5 December 2021

Update #2 - 08/06/2023 - I miss using this book dearly. The beauty of where this book shines is in creating a differential diagnosis by using specific questions and create a case presentation.
----------------
Update #1
This is not a basic book and approaches the high yield advanced style question for history taking. Ofcourse you can't become a master by just reading it once. It takes time for knowledge to consolidate and if you use this resource on a regular basis and compare your notes from the day you started, you will witness how far you have improved not only in your history-taking skills but your overall SOAP note.

Great resource even though the Step 2 CS has been discontinued. Where this book shines is how it explains the basic structures of questions to focused questions that cover the ROS.

I have been using this book for the past year and a half and prepare with this book before I enter the exam room.

I am genuinely surprised by how underrated this book is. I highly recommend this resource.

Update #2: How do I use this book?
1. I would go over the school notes for a particular case.
2. Open this book and go over the particular chapter: This step takes time as questions to a specific complaint rule in or out differentials (Essential to becoming a thinking clinician).
3. Go over First Aid for step 2 CS cases specific scenarios.
4. Create a case-specific history script based on SOAP note format.

hope this helps,Have a great day!

Komplettes Buch über eine umfängliche Anamnese (mit theoretischer Einführung, was oft fehlt in anderen Büchern), differenzialdiagnostisches klinisches Denken. Ich habe dieses Buch zur Vorbereitung meiner Clinical Assessment Kurse benutzt. Sehr komplett, gut verständlich.
