It has three parts, namely: Rapid reporting is considered to be one of its very difficult parts. It the rapid reporting session is conducted just after the end of the long cases session. The primary one includes two orals viva while the other two are rapid reporting and reporting long cases sessions.

Hi, I bought this book with lots of expectations. But I found the cases to be very straight forward. Also they are not distributed well- abnormal and normal cases clumped together-that is, 15 continuous abnormals, followed by normals well majority in last I found the selection of cases unimaginative as well- meant for novice.
Abnormalities are glaring-no need to search. All in all not at all up to the expectations- waste of money.
Not sufficient at all. I thought I would find at least 10 exams. See all 6 reviews. Amazon Giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz, reward your audience, and attract new followers and customers. Learn more about Amazon Giveaway. Set up a giveaway.
