Ear, Nose and Throat Disease (Paperback, Edition. ed.)

This book was conceived as a means of learning by inquiring-self testing carried out conscientiously is an effective way of acquiring knowledge. A wrongly answered question should stimulate the examinee to return to his books to discover the correct answer, although it should be noted that in a number of cases we have annotated brief comments. We hope the book will be of benefit to a number of learners in otolaryngology: medical students, house officers and nurses under going post-basic training. We hope also that it may help general practitioner trainees, for whom otolaryngology presents a significant workload. We recognise that this book must be complementary to standard textbooks but our aspirations remain that the student will gain even greater benefit from his efforts by spending some time in self assessment.
