Good easy readThis book has the information you need for the clerkship and is easy to get through (most chapters, anyway). However it's not a good prep book if you're studying for the shelf: it's too long, and material tested on the shelf is different. Most of the shelf is medicine, which is not emphasized in the book at all. That said, I still think it was a very good introductory surgery text.Excellent for third year surgery clerkshipThis book is just the right length for an aspiring surgeon to read during their surgery clerkship. If surgery isn't your bag then it's probably a bit much but is excellent as a reference for your patient's surgical issues. When compared against many of the larger texts such as Sabiston it doesn't seem to be missing much of the important information that I needed to write review papers or add to informal presentations. But it is much cheaper and less bulky, and thus ideal for medical students. I used this book along with the "Essentials of Surgical Specialties" volume.Perfect for the shelfA perfect concise text for medical students on their surgery rotation. This book helped me do better on my surgery shelf than I have on any other shelf exam. Read the whole thing and take notes as you do. |
