About the Book

Macleod's Clinical Examination by Dr. Graham Douglas is a classic textbook that sets out clearly and concisely how to evaluate symptoms and elicit relevant physical signs, describing the practical skills every clinician must acquire and develop in order to build sound diagnostic procedures and management plans. First published in 1964, the book has been continuously refined by successive editorial teams of active clinicians and specialists, and has been Highly Commended on two separate occasions in the BMA Medical Book Competition.

The book is organized into four clearly structured sections that build naturally on one another. The first covers history taking and general examination, establishing the framework every clinical assessment rests on. The second moves system by system, documenting the relevant symptoms, signs, and special investigations for every major body system, along with guidance on interpreting their significance. The third section covers examination in specific situations, including babies and children and the critically ill patient, with an emphasis on an integrated, structured approach to these more complex presentations. The fourth and final section is devoted to assessment technique itself, walking students through how to demonstrate what they've learned in an OSCE setting. The text is illustrated with over 500 clinical photographs and diagrams, and is paired with specially recorded videos on the companion Student Consult site that demonstrate many of the examination routines described in the book. Macleod's is closely linked to its sister publication, Davidson's Principles & Practice of Medicine, which complements the clinical detail found in this text.
