Description
It is seventy years since the first edition of Hamilton Bailey's Demonstrations of Physical Signs in Clinical Surgery was published. That it has survived is testimony to the continuing need for those leaming surgery to be able to elicit physical signs in the patient and to understand their meaning and significance. Although there can be no substitute for experience, this book provides an invaluable and immediate source of distilled wisdom and knowledge.
This new, 18th edition of the book is a radical departure from its predecessors. Whilst building on Hamilton Bailey's original message regarding the importance of physical signs in clinical surgery, this edition:
- has been entirely re-written and re-designed
- is illustrated with over 1,000 new, full-colour figures
- features new chapters on topical subjects (e.g. AIDS, Tropical Disease)
- has a completely re-designed layout
Medical students and postgraduates embarking upon a surgical career will doubtless continue to regard Demonstrations of Physical Signs as a trusted ally and a wise guide.
