While there are many books on the subject of clinical examination of patients, this book is unique because it acts as a ready reckoner for undergraduates. It was originally published in the cyclostyled print form, a technique not in vogue now. Owing to its popularity and demand among the student community, the book has undergone numerous reprints and updates. The material in the book is concise and provides the medical student with all relevant information in a capsule form.
