The content is great, but the book arrived with the binding torn and in poor condition. It was a new book
Rating: 1 / 5
Once again, the teacher recommended we buy the newest version.
I’m a rebel and a poor student.
The newer editions have nicer pictures, but an A is an A in the class.

This book is good just because I could not find any better book.
It has good colored pictures but pictures are for extere pathologies, there is not much practical pictures. What is also missing is key observations. Yes there are some warnings for key observations but not enough. observations that are in the margins of the book should be the scope of the book. Explanations are very broad, for example says “look for asymetry or discoloratio, etc but it does not say very often than what. it helps for note taking but does not help much for diagnostics.there are some tables that guides you but those tables are very extensive.May be I was expecting more that what it should be.

The book was true to description- Never used. It still had the CDs in it. The price was excellent ($10.00 for a book that cost $100+) and delivery was fast.

I used this book along with Mosby’s Physical Examination book and easily passed my Physical Diagnosis class in chiropractic college. These two book also served as excellent references for Parts II, III and IV of the national chiropractic boards. I also found Dr. Leonardi’s National Board of Chiropractic Part II Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers, to be an excellent source for the boards. I also found Leonardi’s Part III Study Guide and Part IV study guides to be right on the mark. These books helped me with passing the boards. Bates Book is needed as a great building block for learning Physical Examination–Heart, head and Neck, Chest and lungs, abdomen etc.
