Abstract
As a medicine that developed without high tech diagnostic tools, the four examinations are the fundamental diagnostic methods of Chinese medicine. This book provides an excellent study guide to the methods of clinical observation. With an ample supply of photographs, this book enables readers to develop the ability to use inspection as an integral part of their clinical practice by covering the six aspects of inspection: vitality and color, body shape and form, sense organs and orifices of the head and face, tongue, body and limbs, and skin. Commonly seen disease syndromes are presented in 221 cases with corresponding pictures to display their manifestations for inspection.
