Product Description

This very popular revision guide, originally published in its first edition as General Pathology Vivas, is packed with useful information in A-Z format covering the essentials of pathology for examination candidates. This accessible and informative text will help to dispel some of the anxiety facing those studying for their viva or oral examinations. It has been written by a pathologist with many years of experience teaching pathology. This new edition includes many updated and new entries to provide even broader coverage of the key topics and concepts that are an essential prerequisite to understanding basic pathology. This concise account is aimed at undergraduate medical candidates and for the oral parts of the MRCS, MRCP and FRCOG examinations. It will also serve as a valuable aide memoire for the junior surgeon or doctor at all levels of experience, especially those training junior staff themselves.

Customer Reviews

recommended
Yes, this is definitely required to pass the pathology part of the MRCS viva. But like the Kanani physiology/critical care books, there is a fair amount of information which is a little small print and irrelevant. It is exactly these little bits of information that stresses you out during revision. Highy recommended overall though.

Easy to read. What examiners want, in the way they want it.
This question and answer book greatly helps to rapidly assimilate surgeon-specific knowledge on an otherwise vast and tedius subject in a way which encourages clear classification of your answers, in the format the MRCS examiners love.
Although I would never describe any book on pathology as riveting, I was surprised at how easy this book was to read and how few cups of tea I needed to consume to stay awake reading it. The only problem with this book (and all books that follow this format) is the lack of an index - a major oversight - now I'll never be able to find which trematode infects watercress! Definately my favourite MRCS preparation book - a must buy.
