Editorial Review:
Mosby's Guide to Physical Examination is a comprehensive textbook of physical examination, history-taking, and health assessment with a unique emphasis on differential diagnosis and variations across the lifespan. Written by a team of two physicians and two nurses with a special blend of expertise in adult health and pediatrics, the book conveys a uniquely compassionate, patient-centered approach to physical examination with a strong evidence-based foundation. A completely updated art and media program -- consisting of 260 new illustrations, with all new examination photos, full motion video exams on the companion CD-ROM, a completely new 15-part video series, and expanded Health Assessment Online asset library -- further solidify Seidel's reputation as the best-illustrated, most media rich, physical examination textbook on the market.- Lifespan considerations are highlighted in clearly delineated subsections called Infants and Children, Adolescents, Pregnant Women, and Older Adults.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Pocket Mosby!
I have this and the large hardcover textbook. This pocket version is great and fits nicely into my coat pocket when I am in clinic. Although it's not as comprehensive as the big Mosby's, it's definitely handy.
Rating: - Physical Exam
Very well written book...we are not using it per say , but it is a good reference and the small handbook that goes with it is the best to have on you.
Rating:  - Useless, do not waste your money!
I was bought this book and was absolutely disappointed. It is completely useless book for medical students in Europe, I strongly do not recommend this book!
Rating:  - If you need it
This book has alot of information in it. I kind of wish I did not get the book because my teacher has notes for everything she wants us to know. I've tried reading it but... I believe it would make a good reference book when you need to look something up.
Rating: - Amazing
My books (all of them) were received in excellent condition and in lightning fast speed on schedule. Just in the nick of time!
