This book is designed with questions and detailed answers, especially for medical
students, who are facing difficulties in clinical visits and oral exams. For instance;
“What is the definition of threatened abortion?”, “what are the risk factors for spontaneous abortion?”, ‘how would you manage a woman admitting to emergency service complaining with first-trimester vaginal bleeding?”, and so on. After every
question, there are answers in a listed format that you need to know which can be
used in oral exams. I believe this book is not just for medical students; it would be
also beneficial to obstetrics and gynecology residents to get ready for clinical visits
and to foresee possible clinical problems that they would be facing and learn how to
solve them.
Generally, textbooks follow a classical order. They first name the illness, then tell
every detail of it, and finally explain the treatment. But in real life, no one tells you
the patients’ diagnosis, and I believe the most challenging is to learn how to decide
the correct diagnosis after ruling out the differential diagnosis that you think after
taking the anamnesis (main complaint and history of the patient) and physical
examination of the patient.
In medical school, I see that students generally do not know how to take anamnesis and how to ask questions to the patient for the differential diagnosis. I hope
this book would be helpful for learners to categorize the main answers of the clinical
problems and diseases.
Also, I believe that question-and-answer design, as in oral exams, is an appropriate method for medical school students who are getting ready for the exams, and
this format is also easy to read and review the topic.
In this book, all chapters aim to give the main essence of the problems, describe
the main features of the disease or situation, and try not to drown medical students
in details that they have not learned at first step.
In that essence, I hope this book would be a practical book for medical students
to get ready for the frequently asked questions in clinical visits and exams.
Before I let the readers to surf in the chapters of this book, I would like to thank
my professors; Mehmet and Müge Harma, Ülkü Özmen, and Aykut Barut, who
taught me the art of learning and teaching surgery at medical school
lso, I am grateful to my dear family, my mother, Belgin; my father, Halit; and
my brothers, Artun and Bilgehan, for their support in all means of my life.
Last but not least, I would like to thank all the contributors for their contributions
and support to this book.
It would be my honor to see this book on medical students’ and residents’ hands.
