DeGowin's Diagnostic Examination, 9th ed. 2009

 

 

 

DeGowin's Diagnostic Examination, 9th ed. 2009

Richard F. LeBlond, Donald D. Brown, Richard L. DeGowin

ISBN 978-0-07-160574-8;

The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

 

 

 

Far beyond being a text describing how to perform a history and physical exam, DeGowin's Diagnostic Examination is, uniquely, a text to assist clinicians in thinking about symptoms and physical signs to facilitate generation of reasonable, testable diagnostic hypotheses. The clinician's goal in performing a history and physical examination is to generate these diagnostic hypotheses.

DeGowin's Diagnostic Examination has been used by students and clinicians for over 40 years precisely because of its usefulness in this diagnostic process:

 

• It describes the techniques for obtaining a complete history and performing a thorough physical examination.
• It links symptoms and signs with the pathophysiology of disease.
• It presents an approach to differential diagnosis, based upon the pathophysiology of disease, which can be efficiently tested in the laboratory.
• It does all of this in a format that can be used as a quick reference at the “point of care” and as a text to study the principles and practice of history taking and physical examination.
