This book contains proper history-taking and scheme of clinical examination of each system. Elicitation of clinical signs is associated with proper diagrams and patho physiological explanations. At the end of each chapter common clinical problems are discussed with their aetiology and clinical features with relevant investigations. Genesis of signs and symptoms with special emphasis on eliciting appropriate history and analysis of the symptoms and signs have been explained. There is also a brief account of clinical features of various diseases. Key Principles highlighted in every chapter briefly reemphasise the important clinical problems. The chapter on laboratory data contains biochemical values which are helpful in dealing with day-to-day clinical problems. Diagrams, tables and figures represented in this book are self-explanatory.

This book established itself in its first edition as the definitive 'one-stop-shop' revision aid; the only one available to encompass all elements of the MRCOG Part 2 examination in a single volume. Now incorporating practice EMQs as well as the standard question types, this second edition will ensure that it retains its place on the 'must-have' list for every candidate preparing for this exam. Concentrating on testing the candidate's theoretical and practical knowledge as recommended in the current MRCOG syllabus, the book tests the trainee with questions in obstetrics and gynaecology and those aspects of medicine, surgery and paediatrics relevant to the practice of both. The book is divided into four key parts, one for each style of question, each of which opens with an introductory section on how to approach the exam and, crucially, how to fail it. # Part 1 provides a series of short answer practice papers. Common mistakes are highlighted as well as a list of key points required to get full marks. A sample answer is given for each question # Part 2 contains a mock paper for the MCQ part of the exam, containing 225 questions with answers and helpful annotations # Part 3 introduces the EMQ, giving the reader 40 questions in the style of the examination, together with answers and explanatory notes # Part 4 is devoted to the OSCE, with descriptions of 20 sample stations assessing different aspects of clinical practice, advice on how to tackle these, and suggested marking schemes. Throughout, questions have been designed to test factual knowledge and understanding, problem-solving ability, and clinical and communication skills.

This manual emphasizes the practical features of clinical diagnosis and patient management.
