Summary:
Get Through MRCPCH Part 2: 125 Questions on Clinical Photographs tests candidates on the interpretation of photographic material. The text contains 125 cases, with accompanying clinical, radiological and ultrasonic imagery.

Detailed discussion of the cases is provided, which is derived from the current editions of widely used standard reference texts. Trainees in paediatrics intending to sit the MRCPCH Part 2 examination will find this book to be an essential revision aid.

Reviews of titles written previously by Nagi Barakat:
400 MCQs in Paediatrics for MRCPCH Part 1 reviewed by Colin M Stern, Consultant Paediatrician
"This collection is a valuable addition to the armamentarium of the prospective paediatrician"
100 Grey Cases in Paediatrics for the MRCPCH reviewed in The Archives of Diseases in Childhood
"This text provides the revising trainee with realistic and fair clinical conundrums that have much wider applications than in an examination hall. Like any good revision text this collection of cases allows you to forget that you are actually revising and by the end of the book you develop a knack for identifying pertinent information and ignoring the red herrings. I am sure that this will soon appear on many trainees' bookshelves."

Reviews:
This is an excellent example of an exam revision guide, full of photographs, radiographs and even the occasional histopathology slide ... It is good preparation for the ambiguity of exam questions and for the debates one has with colleagues about diagnoses. Overall the explanations given are clear and thorough ... this book will give you 125 more reasons to be able to succeed.
