This is a text to help final-year medical students prepare for their final clinical exam in general medicine. It covers the long case and the viva, but focuses on the major section, the short case, in which the student has to carry out a clinical examination in front of two examiners. As well as giving examples of how to carry out the clinical examination, the book lists descriptions of typical cases in each medical speciality. At the end of each chapter the author lists key questions which are most frequently asked.
