Yes, this is definitely required to pass the pathology part of the MRCS viva. But like the Kanani physiology/critical care books, there is a fair amount of information which is a little small print and irrelevant. It is exactly these little bits of information that stresses you out during revision. Highy recommended overall though.

Easy to read. What examiners want, in the way they want it., 31 May 2007
This question and answer book greatly helps to rapidly assimilate surgeon-specific knowledge on an otherwise vast and tedius subject in a way which encourages clear classification of your answers, in the format the MRCS examiners love.
Although I would never describe any book on pathology as riveting, I was surprised at how easy this book was to read and how few cups of tea I needed to consume to stay awake reading it. The only problem with this book (and all books that follow this format) is the lack of an index - a major oversight - now I'll never be able to find which trematode infects watercress! Definately my favourite MRCS preparation book - a must buy.
