Chestnuts for the MRCP: Differential Diagnoses in Medicine

Review 'an excellent series of lists... should be available to all physicians... allows relevant diagnoses to be considered in clinical practice.' -- Peter Goadsby, Professor of Neurology, National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, London, UK Product Description This book is a catalogue of lists that have been amalgamated by previous MRCP candidates, who have sat the Part 1 and Part 2 examinations. The lists, or ‘chestnuts’, contain the most important differential diagnoses that are relevant to clinical practice and the MRCP exam. They enable the reader to create useful differential diagnoses on the spot. The lists cover metabolism, endocrinology, nephrology, gastroenterology, hematology, cardiology, infectious disease/HIV, neurology, therapeutics, dermatology, ophthalmology, respiratory, and rheumatology. These provide a concise and portable text, which will be continually relevant to the examination, as well as clinical medicine.
