Review
If I hadn't been sent this book to review, I would have almost certainly bought it. That's how good it is.
"BMA Awards 2005"
[This] textbook provides a simple framework for how to perform a straightforward neurological examination up to house officer level. the book is well set out in concise chapters, with useful and easy to understand diagrams to back up the text. There is also a useful chapter on how to pass neurological examinations at finals level. Very useful as a reference text for third years and upwards.
"3rd Year Medical Student, Sphincter - Liverpool Medical Magazine, November 2004"
There are few books which are recommended student to student by word of mouth. This is one of those few books. This book not only provides clear, step by step instruction on how to examine, but also provides some information on what the findings could mean. The text is clearly and concisely written. It is brilliantly organised into sub-headings, bold-lettering and bullet points, making it easy to find the information you are looking for, and fast!

Customer Reviews

neurology made understandable and fun!
I am a final year medical student and one of my favourite subjects is neurology. There are many books on neurology and none cater for the needs of a medical student more than this one. It guides you through simple examination steps and tells us what each sign actually means. It organises the way we think and if you follow the sequence laid out in the book, you'll not only find diagnosing neurological symptoms is possible even at the level of students, but also great fun. This book is highly recommendable and it will prove useful, I am sure, at all stages of the medical training. I have seen a senior doctor using this book in clinic!!

Great book for any physician
I bought this book as I felt that my neurological examination needed polishing up. The book is clearly laid out and tells you exactly how to elicit the signs, what they mean and how to interpret your findings. I work as a Internal Medicine specialist 600km from the nearest neurologist and this will prove invaluable to me ensuring that I do the best by my patients.
In short clear, concise and money well spent.
