Super helpful!!!! Feels like I highlighted the entire book. A lot of material has come in handy for my surgery rotation but honestly wish I had read it sooner because it would’ve been applicable with some of my other rotations too.

VERY glad that I can get back to reading physical books/ebooks leisurely without feeling guilty about not finishing this one yet😅

Fantastic reference book for surgery clerkships.

THE BOOK to have in your white coat during your surgery rotation. It's perfect for scanning a few minutes before you scrub so you aren't totally obliterated by your scary attending when he/she pimps the hell out of you. The only downside is that it's a bit heavy - your shoulders will get a workout!

This is definitely NOT a book to use for shelf prep. It is, however, well worth it for the floors.

Definitely a valuable aid on surgical clerkship. Carry this one around with you as a quick reference, but study other texts or review books to gain fuller clinical picture. I would recommend Case Files as a supplement to this book. All in all this is a great resource and one of the few books that I have gotten through cover-to-cover since beginning 3rd year rotations!

Great book, I actually still use this one every so often. I like the format of questions and answers. The questions helped hook my attention, so I read the answers with more care. I still use this when suturing people.

Amazing for quick review before the OR.
Not so good for shelf exam review... for the latter find Kaplan notes.

رائع.. لكن ينقصه بعض المعلومات مما لا يجعله شاملاً كبقية كتب الريكول !

[Tory · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic. A succinct, yet surprisingly thorough review of surgery in an incredibly useful quiz question format. I find it easy to quiz myself or a friend, and it's extremely easy to implement in a spaced repetition study regimen. I have been asked a host of these questions both in theater and on ward rounds by my consultants/attendings.

Very helpful for quick review before going into surgery and getting asked pimp questions by surgeons

[Joshua Samsoondar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Must read for surgery clerkship

[Dustin · Rating 2 out of 5]

Some good pearls but overall there’s too much information and it’s often repeated. I recommend using other resources.

[Rawan Hamarsheh]

Halfway through this little [Géant] Handbook (eighth edition)

[Iman Abdulmohsn · Rating 3 out of 5]

الكتاب جميل ولكن ماانصح فيه كقراءه أولى في كورس الجراحه
لان الكتاب لايحتوي على شرح او ايضاحات مجرد سرد للمعلومات بطريقه تسهل الحفظ اكثر من الفهم ..

مناسب للراوند .. للنقاشات
للتحضير للاختبارات .. الاوسكيز .. الخ

Nice book, for recalling what you studied, but not as a main source for studying surgery.
