Dr. Ernest Suresh is currently the head of medicine at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital in Singapore. Over the last three decades, he has worked in three different countries with contrasting healthcare systems and cultures. He has been teaching MRCP candidates for over two decades and received more than a dozen teaching excellence awards in the last ten years alone. He has regularly published educational review articles on a wide range of topics in peer-reviewed internal medicine journals and written an acute medicine handbook to guide the junior doctors in his hospital. His previous book, Clinical Consultation Skills in Medicine: A Primer for MRCP PACES , takes readers through a simple, clear and rational approach to 63 common presenting symptoms or laboratory abnormalities in medicine. He believes that all doctors, regardless of their speciality, should practice holistically, and learn to treat the person that has the illness and not just the illness the person has. He considers himself an 'old-fashioned clinician' and pays a lot of attention to bedside clinical skills and communication, the essential traits that the Royal College expects PACES candidates to possess.
