The questions can be a bit circuitous. You might be given a clinical scenario, expecting you to identify the condition, then ask about the treatment or investigation.

If you love pediatrics, enjoy this chapter, else remember that this does not have much of overlap in any other chapter ( except Brachial plexus injuries, may be).
