Collins' knowledge is vast, reflecting his years of experience as a teacher and writer (his first books appeared in 1964). In this book, he emphasizes basic anatomy and physiology to ground students in the physical examination. He insists on mental discipline in generating a differential diagnosis. The figures and questions in the book emphasize the need for basic knowledge on which to base accurate diagnoses. His audience is readers who are or will be involved with office-based primary care—students, residents, and practicing physicians. He includes some pediatric and adolescent conditions but covers only a minimum of geriatric syndromes.
