Great for Motivated Student on Surgery Clerkship

Used this book for surgery clerkship and aced the NBME shelf. This book has all the information you need to shine on a surgery clerkship. It is also ideal for residents/attendings making complex management decisions. It is at times dense and a little boring to read as a text but it has all the relevant information and a little more than you will need on the wards. Same size as Wash Manuel of Medical therapeutics (barely fits in white coat pocket). This book may be more valuable than wash manuel of medicine and is the ideal book for anyone motivated to provide up to date and effecient patient care.

Great reference for Surgery Clerkship

If you're looking for the most accurate "condensed" text for your Surgery Clerkship, this book is perfect. Only downside is that it doesn't organize the information for you in terms of standardized testing (Shelf, Step II) or getting "pimped" on the wards. You'll need another text that CLEARLY outlines "most likely diagnosis," "next step in management," indications, most pertinent complications, etc.

Excellent!

As a General Surgeon and Surgery teacher in a residency I appreciate the value of this manual. I may get quick, truthful and current answers in my job and with my medical's residents. Thank for this gem.

EXCELLENT RESCUER

During my internship this book and the Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics were the 2 books I couldn't live without.They give you quick information to solve almost any problem.

AN EXCELLENT MANUAL

If you need quick information, or to reforce your knowledge in the Emergency Room, this manual could help to solve almost any problem. This is not a text book, is a reference where you can find a quick answer.
