Chestnuts for the MRCP: Differential Diagnoses in Medicine

This book is not designed to be easy reading. It is simply a catalogue of lists that have been amalgamated by previous MRCP candidates who have sat the Part 1 and Part 2 examinations. The lists, or 'chestnuts', contain the most important differential diagnoses that are relevant to clinical practice and the MRCP exam. The lists will enable you to create useful differential diagnoses on the spot. As the format of the MRCP examination is constantly under review, it is hoped that these lists will provide a concise and portable text, which will be continually relevant to the examination, as well as clinical medicine.
