Surgical Recall

This book saved my a** on my surgery clinical rotation in MS3. I am interested in pursuing surgery for residency, so I definitely wanted to impress the attendings and residents during rounds and in the OR. This book gives you practically all the information you will need for pimping questions. Keep it in your white coat or backpack and look over the relevant chapter before a case - thank me later. I definitely received better evaluations because of this book.

What I appreciated most about this book is how it already knows that I am brand new to the surgery world and tries to orient me to the basics that I am too embarrassed to ask on my rotation. The rest of the book is surgical tools, medical conditions, and surgical procedures for general surgery as well as surgical subspecialties. The format is not like a typical textbook; it is separated in 2 columns, with a question on the left, and the answer on the right, that are both short, sweet, and to the point. It contains triads, pentads and triangles that you definitely need to know! (though, my preceptor thought otherwise on the author's version of the Triangle of Callot). Also the smaller size makes it easy to carry around in my coat pocket.

This book was the perfect amount of information that I needed to answer the questions that my attending surgeon pimped me on. You can read a section in less than 5 minutes and know all the high yield info on that topic. I recommended this book to all of my med school friends for their surgery rotations!

The item itself is fantastic and will be very helpful for my surgical rotation! My issue is with the packaging it came in. Ordered a vacuum along with this book and it came folded weird at the bottom of the box. Not really that big of a deal but still irritating.

I felt this was super easy to have in my whitecoat pocket to prepare for surgeries. There were even a few cases that I had less than an hour to "prep" for and there were 2 separate instances where the attend was visibly impressed (even behind the surgical mask, haha!) Definitely recommend for any medical student rotating through surgery to a) answer pimp questions and b) get a general gist of what the important parts of common surgeries are.

The book is a great review of all sorts of medical topics. The format is question-based, making for a great way to review and test your knowledge. Highly recommend it for all PA and medical students.

This book has everything I need to know for my surgical medicine class in a condensed and easy to find layout. My instructor recommended this book to us and said it would be useful for years to come. The seller shipped it quickly, I got it in one day, and it arrived in perfect condition.

This book was clutch for the questions I was asked on my surgery rotation. You might have a surgeon that disputes the statistics, but for the anatomy/landmarks and important highlights of particular cases, it cannot be beat.

Best recall book I have read so far. It has apt information, and enhances passive recall. It gives you all the abbreviations necessary to memorise facts.

The book itself is wonderful if you want to get ready foe you surgical rotations. Very well done But the book was advertised as new and clearly wasn’t. Corners damaged, cover scratched, brown stains... very disappointing

Excellent format (double column q&a) for a methodical review of the most common surgical topics and themes. A great way to enter the surgical world

Clean and fast shipping

Good
