NEURO EXAM:

While studying for the boards, I found this link. It is really cool. It actually shows abnormal exams I only read about, eg, INO for MS, etc. It has case studies where you hear the history, see the exam, see what part of the brain is affected, and the discussion. You will need Apple’s Quick Time to view the exams.

Enjoy!

REFERENCE:

Here is another site that is cool. It tells you about all the named signs, etc; look up Hoffman sign, etc.

The above, I placed in my “reference” category
