5 out of 5 stars Great find!   October 27, 2008
One of my Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) asked me to try to find an older book another provider used for x-rays. Lo and behold there were 4 copies to pick from! It's really a great way to share books so they are used by people who need them.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome for Ortho!   September 10, 2008
This book is great for just about every other issue under the sun. Knees, shoulders, and backs...NO PROBLEM!

4 out of 5 stars can do self diagnosis   December 4, 2007

If you are a medical layperson, you can use this book in a "self-diagnosis" mode, with very little risk. Several of the tests can be done by yourself. You have to understand enough of the medical jargon, which is mostly about anatomy. Straightforward. Keep in mind the title, "physical examination". The tests are all meant to be done by a doctor or nurse with mostly manual steps. No medical instruments.

Some tests really do involve 2 people. You and the examiner. In this case, you can recruit a non-medical friend.

By and large, all this should be safe. There's no surgery involved. Just remember that you should not perform some steps beyond or even close to a pain limit. If you are doing tests, it may be because you have some physical problem. Watch that pain threshold.

This book is so helpful. It turned my practical test scores around 100%. It is great for the visual learner!
