Product Description
Book Description
This book provides high quality and challenging case histories aimed at candidates preparing for the MRCP examination. It is designed in particular for the written element of Part 2, adopting the extended grey case style of the new format examination in which cases can each feature some or all of the following elements: case histories, data interpretation, picture testing. The book will be useful both as a revision guide and an aid to further study. All questions are presented in the form of 'best of five', 'pick 'n' from many' and 'multiple matching'. In-depth explanations are provided to accompany all answers. New to this second edition is the introduction of full colour sections, ensuring that the illustrated cases mimic exactly those questions that the candidate will encounter in the exam setting. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Synopsis
MRCP (Member of the Royal College of Physicians) examination candidates frequently complain of the lack of quality texts including case histories targeted at the MRCP Pt. II. Most of the current literature covers all of the written paper, offering only a limited number of case histories - often at an insufficiently difficult level. Because the examination itself has no set syllabus, study aids are vital for examination success. 'Case Histories for the MRCP' is targeted at the General Medicine branch, but will also be useful for those candidates taking the Paediatric option.

A masterpiece Reviewer: Paul Lee (paul_lee@smtplink.mssm.edu) from New York, NY June 4, 1999

Wow! We love this book even though we are not preparing for the MRCP! The book is completely up-to-date, and the cases are incredibly educational and thought-provoking. If you think you know everything in Medicine, this book will prove you wrong. Incidentally, the questions are much more difficult than what you would see on the American Board of Internal Medicine. An example: Case 1.4 is a 30 year old lady with dilated cardiomyopathy diagnosed 2 years ago now undergoing transplantation because of rapid deterioration. Coronary was normal on cath. She had a PHx of premature menopause 2 years ago. The surgeon made the diagnosis at surgery. What was the diagnosis?----A Cardiology Fellow, New York City.

This is an outstanding book Be warned - some of the questions are very hard - but Goldsmith provides excellent explanations to the answers. Graded marks are given for possible answers, just like in the exam, which I really liked.

This is the hardest and best book around. Reviewer: A reader from Scotland March 11, 1999

This was the only membership book I kept after passing the exam. It is very well written
