About this title

Review

"With this edition, the authors continue the excellence that the Bates' books have enjoyed. The authors are leading educators in their fields."

"This pocket version, based on the larger Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking, 11th edition, by the same authors (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2013) is excellent, capturing the details in a most efficient manner in a format that is easy to refer to. The text is a perfect mix of words in bulleted format, pictures, and tables."
"This is a great, handy, well-sized book."
