There may be other haematologists in the world who can write detailed single best answer and extended matching questions (SBAs, EMQs)...but I doubt that any one individual can do it as well as Barbara Bain.  All questions are well-written, well-researched and include some of the very latest diagnostic and therapeuticadvances... The feedback explaining the reasons for the correct answers is excellent and educational.And that is the point. This book will be a fantastic educational resource for trainees across the world but also for consultants like me who want to update their knowledge in an interactive manner. Just one health warning. Many of these questions are difficult, so no one should expect to get all the answers correct....Recommended for trainees and consultant haematologists without reservation.  (British Journal of Haematology, 2016)
