Summary: Questions and Answers not found in other textbooks
Rating: 5

How many times have you taken a written exam, an oral board type test, or been bombarded with questions while on hospital rounds that simple textbook consultation failed to prepare you to handle? This book is great for medical students doing surgery rotations as well as general surgery residents trying to improve their knowledge base. I read it twice during my surgery residency and found it quite helpful. Shell out a few bucks and buy this book. It's worth it.


Summary: Just the golden moments of a 6 week surgical clerkship!
Rating: 5
