Summary: Carry this one!
Review: I am an NP student and have enjoyed this little handbook. I use it all of the time. It is very compact and full of helpful information. The only problem I had was that the binding was coming apart from so much use!

Summary: The Definitive H&P Guide
Review: This is THE definitive guide for patient history and physical exam; frequently referenced in medical school lectures.

If you're a second or third year student and you want to have a strong foundation in physical examination, be sure to buy this book for your library (or at least read it in your medical school library). If you read the book cover-to-cover, your H&P skills will be way ahead of your colleagues'!
