Product Description

An understanding of critical care is one of the key objectives of medical and surgical training, and viva examinations in particular remain a source of anxiety for many candidates. Surgical Critical Care Vivas follows the same format as the hugely popular General Pathology Vivas and gives candidates a means of practising some of the most common questions that they will be asked in their viva examinations. Pocket-sized, for portability, and packed with useful information in an east-to-use A-Z format, this book will help the reader to broaden their knowledge base and, by practising the vivas, gain confidence in their examination technique.

Customer Reviews

Very good for critical care revision.
This book covers nearly all the aspects of critical care that you will be asked about. Some subjects are covered in very fine details, and you feel that this book is designed for the London Exam more than the other colleges. But to be fair this book is nearly all what you need for revision of the critical care.
I sat the viva in both Dublin and Edinburgh, and nearly all the subjects asked in critical care were covered by this book.

A must Buy
All you need in a small book that is easy to read. Don't waste your money on other books, its simply brilliant..

EXCELLENT BOOK FOR MRCS VIVA
This book is a must for every candidate of MRCS viva-voce exams especially for the critical care and physiology section; the author has divided the book into multiple user friendly phase for every topic; for instance, every topic starts with definition , symptoms, signs , clinical complications and management; furthermore,the book could be read within 2-3 days prior to the exams.
