Graham Douglas, Fiona Nicol, and Colin Robertson have created a must-have resource for clinicians with their classic textbook, Macleod’s Clinical Examination. This thirteenth edition provides a clear and concise guide on how to evaluate symptoms and perform physical examinations to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning. The book contains over 500 clinical photographs and diagrams to enhance understanding, with new topics added to make it even more comprehensive.

Highly acclaimed by the British Medical Association in both the 2006 and 2010 Medical Book Competitions, this edition is a valuable tool for medical professionals in all stages of their careers. Whether you are a student learning the basics or an experienced clinician looking for a refresher, Macleod’s Clinical Examination is an essential resource to have at your fingertips.

The book is divided into four sections to guide readers through the process of evaluating patients:

History taking and general examination
System examination, covering symptoms and signs
Examination in special situations, including babies & children and the critically ill
Assessing clinical examination techniques

The authors provide a general overview of history taking and the general examination in the first section, laying the foundation for the detailed information to come. The systematic examination section outlines the relevant history, examination, and special investigations for each system, providing advice on their significance. The third section covers examination in specific situations, emphasizing an integrated and structured approach to patients in these contexts. Finally, the book includes a section on how to demonstrate the techniques learned in an OSCE, helping readers prepare for exams.

Included with the book is full online access to the Student Consult site, where readers can find specially-recorded videos demonstrating many of the clinical examination routines discussed in the text. These videos bring the content to life and provide a visual representation of the techniques being taught.

One of the standout features of this edition is the addition of two new chapters on examination in specific situations: the frail elderly and the febrile adult. These chapters address important patient populations and provide valuable insights on how to approach and evaluate their unique needs. Additionally, over 50 new text boxes highlight the evidence-base for the examination techniques discussed, helping readers understand the research behind the practice.

An Advisory Board of students, junior doctors, and representatives from various medical fields and academic communities from six countries critically appraised the entire book, ensuring its accuracy and relevance across different healthcare systems. This collaborative effort brings a diverse range of perspectives to the content and enhances its overall quality.

The text has been substantially rewritten for this edition, with expanded coverage on medically unexplained symptoms in the History Taking chapter and extended information on diabetes mellitus in the Endocrine System chapter. These updates reflect the evolving field of medicine and ensure that readers have the most up-to-date information.

For those seeking a more interactive learning experience, Macleod’s Clinical Examination also includes clinical examination videos on the Student Consult site. These videos feature trained professionals performing the examination routines described in the book, with commentary by the Editor, Professor Colin Robertson. This combination of written and visual resources provides a well-rounded and immersive learning experience.

With its comprehensive coverage, clear presentation, and online resources, Macleod’s Clinical Examination is a valuable addition to any clinician’s library. Whether you are a medical student, resident, or seasoned practitioner, this book will enhance your understanding and skills in evaluating patients and contribute to improved clinical outcomes.
