Swartz Mark H. (ed.) Textbook of Physical Diagnosis: History and Examination

4th edition. — Saunders, 2001. — 784 p. — ISBN: 978-0721694115The new 4th Edition of this one-of-a-kind, humanistic text has been thoroughly updated to reflect the most current standards of physical diagnosis. Its core philosophy approaches the patient as a person suffering from disease, rather than an entity in which disease manifests. All chapters have been reviewed and revised, with an all-new chapter on nutrition that shows readers how to apply nutritional principles to the practice of medicine. New color images replace many old black-and-white images, and more than 200 NEW color photographs of pathological conditions enhance this Edition.The Art of Interviewing
