The book beautifully blends the art and science of clinical examination of children. Due to the availability of modern diagnostic facilities, the art of pediatrics is being sacrificed at the alter of technology. The book provides a simplified clinical approach to handle children with medical disorders. The focus is entirely on clinical methods to elicit physical symptoms and signs in all the body systems including musculo-skeletal system. The chapter on Art of Pediatric Diagnosis highlights the core essence of the book to emphasize the philosophy and wisdom of communication and clinical approach towards sick children. A chapter is devoted to ethical and legal issues in clinical practice. A separate chapter is devoted to examination of newborn babies. A summary has been appended at the end of each chapter to highlight a uniform scheme of recording and presentation. The book has been extensively revised, updated, and expanded to provide knowledge, skills and philosophy to handle children and their parents with concern and compassion. The book is illustrated with a large number of photographs, line diagrams, charts and tables. The book can serve as an excellent manual to the practising pediatricians for differential diagnosis of common physical signs in children. It is one of the most comprehensive publications on Pediatric Clinical Methods to serve the felt needs of medical graduates, pediatric residents and pediatricians to rejuvenate the dwindling art of pediatrics. It is an excellent treatise to enthuse upcoming pediatricians to imbibe the art and science of clinical examination of children with a sense of compassion and concern to provide holistic and rational care to children.
