: Perfect size for my white coat pocket. It’s my go-to reference when I forget the specific steps for a neuro exam.

Much more portable than the full textbook. The clinical illustrations are still sharp and very helpful for quick bedside checks.

A must-have for nursing clinicals. It condenses the most important physical assessment techniques into a very readable, portable format.
