E-Book Overview
An understanding of critical care is one of the key objectives of medical and surgical training, and viva examinations in particular remain a source of anxiety for many candidates. Surgical Critical Care Vivas follows the same format as the hugely popular General Pathology Vivas and gives candidates a means of practising some of the most common questions that they will be asked in their viva examinations.Pocket-sized, for portability, and packed with useful information in an east-to-use A-Z format, this book will help the reader to broaden their knowledge base and, by practising the vivas, gain confidence in their examination technique.
