Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Minor flaws, but truly excellent.
I've just passed the Intercollegiate MRCS first time (all 3 parts). I attribute part of that success to this book. I agree with the other reviews that there are some flaws and these are as follows:
1. As in the other reviews, I was a little annoyed at the lack of some page reference numbers not being filled in properly, but in all honesty, this was not that important as it's easy to know what topic elsewhere in the book the reference is to.
2. I also noticed a few minor ... Read More
Rating: - all you need
This book contained all the information I needed to pass the exam. Sure, there are a few typos but they aren't really that big a deal. The pictures are great and in my opinion, the footnotes are actually a good thing because they help reduce the amount of text in the main passages whilst being interesting in their own right.
I would recommend this book over the others by far.
Rating:  - Expensive
Have successfully sat MRCS clinical exam but did not rely on this book very much. It has a disorganised layout, an over-relyance on footnotes and pictures that can be found in other books.
The collection of pictures is one of the books saving graces, but other than that there is not really much to commend. Would advise looking elsewhere.
Rating: - Hasn't been updated for Intercollegiate MRCS.
Maybe this book was relevant to the old MRCS, but it hasn't been updated for the new Intercollegiate exam, and contains a lot of misleading advice. There are far too many typos, and a lot of references to "see page XX", which suggest that it wasn't proof-read properly. The hundreds and hundreds of footnotes get very wearing.
A cautious recommendation, but don't rely on this book!
Rating:  - Prepare yourself for the Clinical
Things are a changing, what with intercollegiate exams and reduction in working hours and whatnot. But what is certain is that you can't change the past and Cathy Parchment-Smith has done a great job of reviewing and analysing candidates and subjects in the clinical part of the (then) MRCS England exam.
A breakdown of topics, provided presumably from exiting candidates, lets you know exactly how often "examination of inguinal hernia" came up. Summary cards for each examination are exhaustive and ... Read More
