This book does exactly what it says on the tin, it is an absolute God Send, it demonstrates clear concepts to answer what can be difficult and confusing topics. It is well laid & thought out and covers a lot of important concepts beautifully, with great diagrams. A must have for the Primary!
Really good book. The clinical stations are well covered - in particular this book is worth buying just for the neuro section alone which is really easy to read and understand and gives you a great framework for approaching clinical cases (this is also what countless colleagues of mine have cited as the book's main selling point!)
The ethical and history taking stations are not so well...
Took mrcp part 1 with less than 3mth experience in internal medicine. Aced it with just studying this book. Medicine posting is so busy, you just need to read this book & get the essense to pass. Not much clnical experience needed either. Get it and you won't regret it!
these cards cover the majority of the basic science required for the primary. there is very little anatomy, and no clinical stuff, and cursory stats. however, they are incredibly useful once you've already covered most of the material from the textbooks and you just need a quick reminder of key points. especially so if you're not a note-writer.
this book and its companion provide a superb introduction to emq-style style questions. the explanations are detailed enough to enable the reader to understand fully why the answer has been arrived at.
definitely helped me to pass my finals!
The previous customer review claimed that there was a discrepancy between stations 4 and 6. However, station 4 discusses cannula sizes whereas station 6 discusses NEEDLE sizes, and these ARE actually different. So please beware of inaccuracies when telling people to "beware of inaccuracies"!
it is extrememely good and a must have book especially for mrcp students.....and this site is the bst place to buy it...superfast delivery and no hassle system....believe me first i ordered from another site and got stuck waiting for two weeks ultimately had to cancel order...but with amazon it was great....
