5.0 out of 5 stars A good start
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2012

I'm a med student learning how to the write a H&P and this book is definitely better then the resources recommended by my school. One of the hardest things about learning how to write an H&P as a student is that you don't have the background medical knowledge to diagnose and treat a patient, which is why a H&P is written. But even if my knowledge is lacking this book has really helped me use the correct structure and wording for reporting my findings. Its also given me a great conceptual background as to how to create an H&P. Anybody can tell you to write down the CC, HPI, FHx, Sx ect. But why are you writing all that down? What do you chose to omit? What do you chose to highlight? This book is written toward those questions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Many areas of disagreement, and definitely not worth what is charged
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020
Verified Purchase
My medical program required my class to buy this book and it was not helpful at all in writing appropriate H&Ps. I did not learn anything new from this book. It is probably 5mm thin, which for the price is steep in my opinion. My classmates and I would follow what the book recommends us to do while writing our patient notes, and our different professors would disagree consistently. While that probably reflects more of my professors' subjectiveness on H&Ps, it also reflects that this book does not present uniformly agreeable information. As a student, if you are a professor considering this book, please find a different one; some medical textbooks already contain an H&P/interviewing section in them.

You can find more and better information on-line. This "book" contains less information than most lecture handouts. Not worth $5. Makes me wonder if the positive reviews were written by friends of the author. Cute cover, but like a bottle of wine - don't judge wine by the label or a book by the cover.
