This has been an excellent book for my surgery rotation. In fact, elements of this book have also helped me on other rotations such as pediatrics. I normally do not read books for studying (or at least not in their entirety), but this particular book is an exception!
Pros:
Fits perfectly in a white coat pocket
Excellent questions with concise answers
Can be used as a study tool for other rotations
Does an excellent job in keeping information simplified
Covers a range of topics from general surgery to transplants
Mentions learning devices to help in memorizing certain terms or phrases
Contains enough information to help prepare for each topic that may be expected
Covers everything from the basics of surgery to explaining procedures and treatments
Cons:
Even though it is over 800 pages, it is meant more as a beginner's guide to each topic
The red around "Recall" will rub off with use in a white coat (in about a week about a quarter had worn off)

5.0 out of 5 stars Strapped for time?
Verified PurchaseThis is great for the medical student on surgical rotation that wants to know what the heck is going on without spending hours reading paragraphs and paragraphs of text.
This may not be great for written exams but it certainly does the job of keeping you in the loop during rotation and gives you some vital knowledge to answer all those lovely questions shot your way.
This text is not completely comprehensive... but seriously... do you really have time for another comprehensive text book anyway?
If you have many other time commitments and other subjects to study for during your surgical rotation and don't want to spend all your time reading about surgery but also don't want to look like a complete idiot every time someone asks you a question, get this.
- Abdullah AlmitwalliReviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2014
5.0 out of 5 stars Saves you on the wards + Great Revision.
Verified PurchaseSurgery rotation's Best Companion. Especially when Surgeons grill you with Questions.
Easy to read due to Question and Answer. Book mark is genius as well! works also for surgery exam review (Medical School)

5.0 out of 5 stars Many of the questions are things you will be pimped on and it's nice to have this right there to look through ahead ...
Verified PurchaseI'm a PA student and used this for my surgery class and surgical rotation. This book was absolutely necessary for both. It's laid out in a question and answer format so you can quickly look up the information you're looking for. It also allows you to quiz yourself. Many of the questions are things you will be pimped on and it's nice to have this right there to look through ahead of time or look up after if you don't know the answer at the time. The book is thick, but it's fairly compact otherwise. I was able to fit it in my white coat pocket no problem. That said, it did weigh down my pocket so you might want to have something to balance it out in your other pocket.
I recommend this for any medical professional student going through a surgery rotation. You'll be glad you picked up a copy.
