Book Description
This highly detailed medical handbook provides all the material needed for physicians facing the new MRCP. It is a complete guide to post-graduate examinations in medicine which provides insightful information and advice from the point of view of the examiner. The extensive discussion of answers and a constant focus on how to make a diagnosis with incomplete data (which is how illnesses present in reality) is integrated with an up to-to date knowledge of medicine. The advice and answers imparted in this book enables the physician to solve the most complex problems in the traditions of the methodology of the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital, London. With over 160 clinical scenarios, this guidebook is designed to help physicians prepare for the new multiple-choice questions. The book adopts a different approach, which encourages the candidate to think the problem through himself before looking at the answers. It allows the activation of the subconscious and enables the entire pattern to be intuitively understood as a Gestalt, thus prompting experience of the Eureka effect. This is the expert method used in bedside clinical problem-solving by master clinicians. MRCP II (Internal Medicine) Made Easy is more than a handbook as is evident from the author’s, W.M.Chong’s personal Buddhist beliefs and his linkage of the exploration of the source of the religious training and belief in Buddha, with medicine. The Author states that indeed the historical Buddha can be perceived as one of the first Physicians who used the same “modern” medical approaches to make: • The diagnosis (which is the fact that life is characterised by suffering); • The aetiology (which is based on our nature of clinging, pride and ignorance); • The prognosis (which is good) and • The treatment (which is the fact that there is a way out, the details of which are beyond the scope of this book) Although these words come from a source 2,500 years ago, it is as true today for all the candidates taking this exam. W.M.Chong offers here extremely beneficial and applicable medical methods for finding the “way out”. In this particular context, it is to master this book and the methodology therein.
