This exam-orientated book will help to alleviate some of the suffering of the nail-biting weeks just prior to the final clinical examinations in general surgery. It covers the clinical part of the exam usually now examined as OSCEs and approaches the usual surgical problems from that perspective. It concentrates on the type of questions asked by the examiners and how to respond in a way that will give the candidate the best chance of success.

"Medicine and Surgery" is a stunning new hybrid textbook that has evolved as a direct response to the increasing integration of the two disciplines of medicine and surgery in today's medical curricula. The advantage of this combined approach is it reduces the amount of reading by the elimination of repetition (and inconsistencies) to provide an integrated explanation of the common problems faced both by students during exams and clinicians in daily practice. This book's greatest asset is the ability to illustrate that medical and surgical treatment options are actually part of a continuum in the management of disease.
