In this edition, we hamve m responded to critiques by adding extra diagrams, making o o o alterations herec and there, and improving the clayout. c The good docet.or is the good listener, good examein.er, good e. interpreter eand good problem-solver. We hopee that clinical e ex aminaftrion will not be supplanted by CTfsr, MRIs, PETs, fr s s s and increasingly sophisticated scanning techniques. Scan- k k k ninog techniques have improved dramaotically in the past 20 o yoears for those based in secondary aond tertiary care hospi- o b b b tals. This has been especially true of ultrasonic examinations e e e m of the acute abdomen in infamnts and children, in cardiac m echographs, and in MRI examination of the newborn and infant brain, to cite but a few examples. The primary care paediatrician working in remote or isolated practice will still m m m need to rely on his/her diagnostic wit and clinical skills. We o o o trust that clinical findings will continue to direct appropri- c c c ate investigatio.ns. Listening and laying on of hand.s remain . e e e the cornersetones of clinical contact and contracet. Good chil- e dren’s clrinicians do more talking and thinkirng, and hope- r f f f fully lesss blood testing. Children will like sthem for that. s k k k o o o Doenis Gill o o bNiall O’Brien b b e e e m m m Q m mv m o o o c c c . . . e e e e e e r r r f f f s s s k k k o o o o o o b b b e e e m m m m m m o o o c c c . . . e e e e e e Acknorwledgements r r f f f s s s k k k o o o o o o b b b e We could not have delivered thee text without the tireless e m typing of Norma McEneaneym, the photographic shots of m Thomas Nolan, and the lively illustrations of Des Hickey; to all of them we are extremely grateful.
