Great for surgery core rotation

Great addition to surgery review books that many students use as the only source (Surgical Recall, BRS General Surgery, High Yield and others). Explains the most common surgical pathologies and procedures that you will be definitely pimped on and asked in the oral exams. Gives you feeling of a real solid surgery book without being long. Clinical scenarios are very typical for pathologies and will help you for studying for the shelf exams.
