From the Author
The book has been significantly revised in its organisation, and all cases and viva questions related to one system are now grouped together without the long/short distinction. We hope that this will allow for easier location and revision planning. There is however, an index of long cases for those of you who wish to look at the important long cases in isolation. We have labelled some of the more obscure cases as hard (rare/advanced/honours) so that valuable time is not wasted by starting with these. We hope that the book will remain popular and act as a concise review of the majority of cases seen in medical examinations, whatever the method of assessment and whatever the stage of medical education.

Customer Reviews

Absolute class! Finals in a couple of days
After spending 4 years doing very little at university, i needed a book that would fill my mind to saturation point, with the 10 causes of clubbing or signs to look for in chronic liver disease. This text quite honestly covers the lot.

Using a system by system approach, you are guided through clinical examinations that would commonly come up in both the long and short cases.

Sketchy
This book might suit some people - those who already know all there is to know about medicine - this is not me. I like my books more detailed, more illustrated, written by somebody who is making difficult things easy, not just giving me lists of difficult things. Look around - there are loads better titles around.

not impressed
I think this book is way overpriced for its worth. It is very brief and does not contain enough detail on the cases. There are no pictures or diagrams, just plain black writing on half blank pages. The only use I found is reading up on the topics presented in order to cover the syllabus before final exams.
