Agreed. Bates is the most widely used resource in US med schools, I believe. I think the UCSD website and other online resources are pretty good for physical exam stuff as well.

I use Bates, but to be honest, only for the pictures.

Uhhhh, I think what you're asking would be a copyright violation. You're not trying to violate copyrights, are you?

A text I have found to be excellent is Sapira's Art and Science of Bedside Diagnosis... now by Orient.

Definitely copyright violation to do this. Be a good human being and spring for your own (used if need be) copy.

As much as I love Sapira's, I don't think it is an appropriate introductory text for medical students-it is far too in depth/advanced. Start with a good basic text (like Bates) which has plentiful illustrations, master it, then move on to Sapira's. It is a true masterpiece of physical diagnosis. It doesn't read like a text but rather like a bedside discussion with a Yoda-like diagnostician. Ever heard of Vitum's or Ewart's or d'Espine's sign? Curvheilhier-Baumgartern murmur? It's all in there...
