Excellent book

A must for every surgical resident and surgeon. Great for studying for the oral boards these are safe and accepted answers.

Surgeon's best friend

If you only have time to read one book, this is the one. Every topic is boiled down to only the pure gold. All the useless facts that you can't remember anyway are left out. Presented in an easy to understand, easy to remember format. This is really all you need. I plan on reading every new issue when available. By the way, I've read Schwartz, Norton, Sabiston, and ACS over the past few years. All are good, but I already work long enough hours for my free time to be spent reading such lengthy texts.

Must have for boards

This is the book which any surgeon studying for the general surgery oral boards MUST read. It covers a broad range of practical information. FYI -- When I took my boards, everyone told me to read Schwartz for the written and Cameron for the orals; I did that and passed (I think) easily. Although I think some of the new textbooks such as Dr. Greenfield's give Schwartz a run for the money, no other book challenges Cameron for studying for the oral boards.

Excellent review of current surgical practice

This text is a must for senior surgical residents and beyond. Highly authoritative, well written and edited. I'm sure this will be a great help in preparing for the oral boards.

Best book to review for boards

This text is the working man's guide to surgery, with a practical hands on approach that I find rare among surgical texts. It is a great source to read in preparing for general surgery board examinations, too. I highly recommend it.
