Very helpful book for the preparation of step 2 cs. Some of the questions that should be asked are very specific and by no chance I would have asked them without reading the book. Don`t forget to read the mini cases as they give you all you need to know for differential diagnosis. I also practiced with live and online study partners using this book and passed with high performance in all parts as an IMG. — Meike Lore
