This book is an attempt to cover all the cases the examinee is likely to come across in most examinations, in the form of case vignettes. The book follows a question and answer format, as close to the real life as we can get, in the examination. The latest evidence is included in all answers throughout the book and the references quoted can be looked up for further information by examinees. As a bonus, there are 100 OSCEs (The Objective Structured Clinical Examination) for practice in the book, which will be extremely helpful to all.
