Browse’s Introduction to the Symptoms & Signs of Surgical Disease

Review

Of previous editions:
‘The first chapter on history taking and clinical examination sets the tone for the whole book, emphasising a careful, methodical approach, always giving the patient complete attention and never taking short cuts … it represents extremely good value and I would strongly recommend it to all medical students and surgical trainees, both young and old.’ John Lowry, Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
‘The book begins with excellent material on how to take a history and assess the overall clinical situation, including the overall appearance and mien of the patient. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with color photographs and line drawings. The color photographs and scope of conditions illustrated is extraordinary … This is an excellent book that amply fulfills its promise of providing information for medical students. It also will be useful to trainees in surgery and to practitioners going to underserved areas.’ Carol Scott-Conner, MD, PhD, MBA (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics), Doody’s Reviews
