This is an incredible book for anybody and everybody in the medical field. It's great, easy reading with loads of very helpful information. It gives incredible instructions on everything from history taking and exam techniques, to interpreting ECG's and x-rays. The interactive CD allows you to put all the information together in case format to try to make diagnoses on patients, and really forces you into 'problem solving' mode. I highly recommend this book to ALL students, and even practitioners who want to brush up on their skills.
