clinical training is still catching up We recognize that teachers and textbooks frequently fall into the trap of eulogizing clinical assessment rather than explaining its actual role in contemporary diagnosis Yet we come to praise the clinical assessment, not to bury it The history may not, by itself, deliver the diagnosis in 90% of cases but it is essential in all cases to generate a logical differential diagnosis and to guide rational investigation and treatment In many ‘developed’ countries, some so-called classical physica signs are rare and certain aspects of the clinical examination have been marginalized by novel imaging techniques and disease biomarkers Nevertheless, a focused clinical examination is critical to recognizing the sick patient, raising red flags identifying unsuspected problems and, in some cases, revealing signs that cannot be identified with tests (for example, the mental state examination) Our aim is to show you how to use your core clinical skills to maximum advantage We offer a grounded and realistic approach to clinical diagnosis with no bias towards any particular element of the assessment Where appropriate, we acknowledge the limitations of the history and examination and direct you to the necessary investigation We also highlight those instances where diagnosis is critically dependent on basic clinical assessment, thereby demonstrating its vital and enduring importance We wish you every success in your training and practice, and hope that this book provides at least some small measure of assistance Alan Japp Colin Robertson Edinburgh, 2018 om m ‘Ninety per cent of diagnoses are made from the history.’ ‘Clinical examination is the cornerstone of assessment.’ m Acknowledgements f ks sf re e c om Edinburgh (Chapter 28, Red eye);
