no one really studies physical diagnosis. And for theory we all use UpToDate. I carry the MGH "blue" book. It is a great pocket guide.

2 more days to find out if I get my fellowship or not! Yeah, R3 to be. I am on night float at the VA and all is quiet around this time. I have been on this bat-like schedule so long now I can't sleep ... so back to my old haunts

I am using: A Pocket Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking of Barbara Rates. This is good. Search on Amazon if you need.

The Blue book ... Mass General Hospital Pocet Guide to Medicine or Guide to Medicine ... something like that. That's what most of us carry. It's a great book actually. It is blue, hence me calling it the Blue book.
