Calling all "Medical Types"

For anyone entering, or presently in the medical field and who performs physical exams, this book is invaluable. I have had the priviledge for the last 2+ years to work with both Dr. Ranganathan and Dr. Sivaciyan and as I read this book I can easily detect their individual teaching styles coming through the pages. Both have a breezy, charismatic, comprehensive but most of all detailed way of teaching the ins and outs of cardiology. I purchased this book when it first came out and began reading it, even though I will never perform a cardiac physical exam. The information is still invaluable even for the health sciences student because of the way the authors explain how cardiac disease manifest physically and how to detect certain diseases using the 5 senses in an increasingly technologically inclined world.

My bottom line is that this book stands out among other texts I have read and would be a valuable tool for any clinician to own as part of their health care arsenal.

p.s these guys know I'm not blowing smoke. If I thought that their book sucked I'd say as much. Just thought I'd mention that.
