Excellent quick review

This book is in short, Q&A style, and is excellent for quick review, especially when you have 10 minutes before a case starts. During surgeries, I got asked a lot of questions straight out of the book. A more thorough book is needed for in-depth info, but this book is great to carry around with you and read in those rare spare minutes.

A must have for a surgical rotation!

This is not a detailed surgical text, but it is the book you will go to every night to read up before tomorrow's surgeries. Incredibly high- yield, focused book. It will teach you most of the basics your preceptors will pimp you on. I like the question/answer format... these "pearls" seemed to stick with me better than when you have to dig through pages of standard text. Quite a bit of overlap with others in the series, like ER Recall, but still worth it!

Excellent

Great for surgery because it goes over anatomy (perfect for OR days) and different diseases/pathophysiology (great for rounding). Must-have for surgery clerkship.

Surgery Clerkship Bible

This book is great! You can carry it around with you to quickly review before cases, or even in the clinic. Almost every pimp question I have gotten was in this book!!

Best Recall Book - Use it to prep for pimping

Surgery is a difficult rotation in terms of content and time commitment. Therefore, it's best to study to maximize your time. This book will prepare you for surviving rounds and those pimp sessions while you are retracting. The book is well organized by topic and great to quickly review before discussing/encountering a particular patient. The book saved me several times during a long surgery. However, of note, to survive the shelf exam and osce, you will need a textbook as well. Good choices to supplement this book would be Essentials of General Surgery or First Aid for the Surgery Clerkship.
