Presents 200 sample cases for students studying for the British MRCP. The text is targeted at the General Medicine examination, but will also be useful for those candidates taking the Paediatric examination. Cases cover such areas as respiratory medicine, neurology, gastroenterology, renal medicine, heart disease, ophthalmology, and endocrinology. Includes answers to the questions with in-depth explanations. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR Customer Reviews Write an online review and share your thoughts with other readers! 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 and is a real gem.
