Customer Reviews

good book

takes awhile to get through, but quite comprehensive. The first 300 pages are what you actually have to know, the last 200 pages are only somewhat needed. I supplemented this book with nms casebook, surgery pretest, and lange 1000 surgery questions. Out of these I would say definitely get nms, probably yes to first aide. I gave it 4/5 stars because I have yet to take the shelf. But so far so good, just study these and keep recall handy for reading before surgery cases for pimping.

Really Helpful

It's a lot of help while you're going through your surgery rotation. As much as I would have liked to have read the text book, there isn't a lot of time due to the long hours of work. This book helps fill in the gaps. Some things might be too simplified, so it might be helpful to supplement with the required books.
