The classic point-of-care guide to the undifferentiated patient -- completely revised and easier to navigate than ever! A Doody\'s Core Title!
Part physical examination primer, part differential diagnosis tool, DeGowin\'s Diagnostic Examination takes you a step beyond elementary physical diagnosis.
DeGowin\'s covers all physical examination techniques and procedures, but this highly practical point-of-care guide goes further, focusing on the meaning of signs and symptoms. It also shows you how to catalog clinical findings resulting from the physical examination--and order them into a differential diagnosis.
