Anna R, PhD FRCP(Ed) (Consultant in Diabetes, Endocrinology and General Medicine, Edinburgh C Dover, J. Fifty years since it was first published and now fully revised, Macleod’s remains the textbook of choice for medical students, junior doctors, nurses and allied health practitioners who understand that excellence in clinical examination is integral to good practice. As a paramedic there was a lot of information that will be useful and good to know but I may not have chance to use in the pre-hospital setting but saying that I found it a lot better than my original training and has given me a much better knowledge base.
