Short and OSCE Cases in Internal Medicine

This 2nd edition keeps the same basic theme of conversational style of the book (an examiner asks a question and a candidate provides the typical answer), which recreates the conditions encountered in the real clinical examinations. The approach to each case in the book has been standardised into a unified format that includes the common instructions by examiners encountered in clinical examinations, the common mistakes (pitfalls) committed by candidates, and the typical style of presentation of findings. This is followed by a succinct summary of diagnosis, differential diagnosis, management, and further information usually required in clinical examinations.
