NMS Surgery Casebook

by Bruce Jarrell MD

Ideal as a stand-alone review or as a companion to NMS Surgery , this highly practical casebook presents a series of surgical cases that begin with a clinical scenario and progress step by step through the decision-making process of patient management. It offers medical students a structured subject review, practice questions to prepare for the USMLE Step 2 exam, and an opportunity to work through clinical cases with a unique “what next” approach to decision making.

Updates include a new two-color design, “Deep Thoughts” and “Quick Cuts” text features that clearly call out high-yield information in every chapter, and an all-new chapter on pediatrics covering common congenital anomalies. Clinical images and illustrations offer the opportunity to detect visual clues, and the new pocket-sized format makes it easy to carry and study anytime, anywhere. In addition, this title is packaged with access to the interactive eBook version at no additional cost! Emphasizes high-yield information with easy-to-spot “Deep Thoughts” and “Quick Cuts” boxes throughout.

I can’t rate this because it was not for pleasure. I wouldn’t say pleasure was an emotion I experienced while reading it. I did learn a lot from it and read it out loud with Claire. some of my favorite moments from the reading experience include: “pouchitis from an ileoanal anastomoses for irritable bowel disease …. give metronidazole”, “selective vagotomy for peptic ulcer disease”, the many many many pages that I had to reread five times to understand :) :) :)
