As described- new, still in its original wrapper. Exactly what I wanted. Delivered very promptly.

This is THE book for Surgical Technology!

I so appreciated this book after finding out the book that was chosen for our program was so LAME (Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist). I ordered this book on my own while attending this program and will never regret it. I found so much helpful information that went along with the class that I had a headstart on the other students. This again, is the perfect book for Surgical Technologists in training.

surgical textbook

The text was in excellent condition and I received it in no time at all.
It has been helpful in my new work assignment. I don't know why I don't think of this first for all my music and book requests.

Great reference book for OR nurses (newbie & experienced)

I got my first "Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery" while I was in nursing school back in the late 80's. We had a perioperative course in nursing school and the book was an excellent resource. I got myself another edition (1995) after I gave away my older book. I have not checked out the 2006 edition (out of stock in local bookstore). Hopefully, there will be more updates on the new advances in surgical procedures.

A Must Have

I ran across this text in the OR nurse's lounge and found it highly fascinating. The other nurses recommended it to me, so I hopped on Amazon and found one. The prices have come down tremendously since last year. This text is not full of PhD jargon. It's well-written, easy to understand for someone with just an LPN background. I really like it.
