About Book:

      The scope and technology of medicine continues to evolve, and clinical methods consequently evolve and require new techniques and approaches. Nonetheless, the core skills of communication, clinical examination, objective assessment, and planning relevant investigation and management, are as important to clinical practice as ever. Only learning and experience can develop these skills. Medicine is a profession: there is a relationship of trust between patient and doctor, and the doctor is recognized to have acquired knowledge and skills relevant to the practice of medicine. In addition, a code of ethics binds the doctor to certain modes of conduct in the clinical relationship with a patient and in relation with colleagues. All these matters are part of clinical methods in the modern world. Understanding established and new clinical methods and how they inter-relate is essential. Hutchison’s Clinical Method seeks to teach an integrated approach to clinical practice, so that new methods and investigation are merged into established patterns. Therefore, it continues to be book for students of all ages.
