The authors and contributors of the text recognize and acknowledge the diverse histories of the First Peoples of the lands now referred to as Canada. It is recognized that individual communities identify themselves in various ways; within this text, the term Indigenous will be used to refer to all First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people within Canada. Knowledge and language concerning sex, gender, and identity are fluid and continually evolving. The language and terminology presented in this text endeavour to be inclusive of all people and reflect what is, to the best of our knowledge, current at the time of publication. Gender pronouns have been removed whenever possible, using the terms they and them as acceptable singular references to achieve gender neutrality (see https://en/oxforddictionaries.com/usage/he-or-she-versus-they). Patient profiles include preferred pronouns and employ initials in place of full names. It is important that students develop, practise, and then learn to trust their health history and physical examination skills. In this book we give you the tools to do that. Learn to listen to the patient— most often they will tell you what is wrong (and right) and what you can do to meet their health care needs. Then learn to inspect, examine, and listen to the person’s body. The data are all there and are accessible to you by using just a few extra tools. Hightechnology machinery is a smart and sophisticated adjunct, but it cannot replace your own bedside assessment of your patient.
