Author Information
By Steven D. Waldman, MD, JD, Senior Vice Provost and Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, Kansas City University, Kansas City, MO, USA
"...the only book available on this subject. Though titled an atlas, the text and the images are good enough that this can easily be used as a brief textbook of physical examination. Other books on similar topics are more concerned with description of the tests than their demonstration. The focus on demonstration makes this book more helpful in busy situations."
-Tariq M. Malik, MD (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine), Doody’s Review Service
"Physical Diagnosis of Pain: an Atlas of Signs and Symptoms is an excellent stand-alone reference that would be helpful to providers seeking guidance on rapidly and effectively diagnosing pathology based on physical techniques, rather than relying on imaging alone…We recommend this book to any provider who commonly evaluates and treats pain problems."
-Yawar J. Qadri, MD, PhD and Lance A. Roy, MD, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia (2016) 63:1001–1002
