Summary: A must have!
Comment: I had this book for my surgery rotation and I was noted to have a tremendous knowledge base by the course director. He said, "either you're spending a lot of time reading, or you're not reading and you're just brilliant." This was the first course where I used the recall series and let me just say that I am not "brilliant" and there is no way someone can read a lot during a surgery rotation. It was all this text.

It's great to glance at between cases or when there's five minutes down time. And, it covers all the questions you're likely to be pimped on (that's why it looked like I knew a lot).

Summary: A must have for a surgical rotation!
Comment: This is not a detailed surgical text, but it is the book you will go to every night to read up before tomorrow's surgeries. Incredibly high- yield, focused book. It will teach you most of the basics your preceptors will pimp you on. I like the question/answer format... these "pearls" seemed to stick with me better than when you have to dig through pages of standard text. Quite a bit of overlap with others in the series, like ER Recall, but still worth it!

Summary: Great book
Comment: Great book, great series. good to test what you know and some hit points that you might not find anywhere else.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Excellent quick review
Comment: This book is in short, Q&A style, and is excellent for quick review, especially when you have 10 minutes before a case starts. During surgeries, I got asked a lot of questions straight out of the book. A more thorough book is needed for in-depth info, but this book is great to carry around with you and read in those rare spare minutes.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Excellent
Comment: Great for surgery because it goes over anatomy (perfect for OR days) and different diseases/pathophysiology (great for rounding). Must-have for surgery clerkship.
