TLDR: Here is the detailed overview of the clinical information which you need to keep in mind, and ensure that you ask in the history of any patient attending with a respiratory problem.

Okay, the second try of the Macleod's Clinical Examination podcasts (now with tweaked audio). It turns out that recording one of the main chapters is a bit of a beast!

Thus I've split the chapter into a revision of the respiratory history (this video), and the theory of performing a respiratory examination which will be released later.

These are still very much work in progress type things, so I'll be very grateful for any feedback on how we can improve the utility for medical school and finals revision
