Re Jenny Smith,

55 Town Street, Lasttown.

Dear Doctor,

Please see this woman who complains of premenstrual syndrome. I don’t really believe in this condition so have not attempted to treat it.

Regards, Dr. N. O. G. Ood.

Re Anne Jones.

25 Checkmate Street,

Chesstown. CHS7 Y86.

Dear Doctor,

Please see Mrs Jones who wishes to be sterilised. Our family planning specialist is on leave and I know little about modern contraception, so have not offered any advice.

Regards,

Dr. O.U.T. de Touche.

44. Enhanced recovery.

Candidate's instructions.

You are a newly-appointed consultant. The Clinical Director has asked you to develop a programme for enhanced recovery for inpatient gynaecological surgery.

As a first step, she has asked you to deliver a talk to a unit meeting (all staff can attend) to outline the key features of enhanced recovery. She suspects that little is known by most of the staff about the subject and hopes that your talk will encourage their enthusiastic participation.

The examiner will ask you 9 questions pertinent to your talk.

45. Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome.

Candidate’s instructions.

This is a viva station about Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome. The examiner will ask you 17 questions. When you have finished a question, you will not be allowed to return to it as later questions may indicate the answer. If you return, no marks will be awarded, even for correct answers.
