  - NO ONLINE CODESOnline code was used and the description of this is not fully disclosed unless you read the complete description, when many other sellers have the codes available for the same price. Beware when buying textbooks, specially heavyweights to have online codes intact. Price should be significantly less if code is used. Rating:  - Poor Quality BindingSuperb textbook in terms of content. HOWEVER,,,,,,,,within 48 hours of reading, the binding began to fall apart. I would assume this was a bad copy if not for the fact that copy held in our surgical residents library has also fallen apart completely. I have all the major general surgical textbooks from 'Mastery of Surgery' to Schwartz and none of them have significantly deteriorated despite extensive use. This is unacceptable for a book with a retail of $150. Am contacting the publisher and amazon to discuss this issue further. Rating:  - Excellent book for all PGY levels!This book is great! It gives concise information on any topic, a great read at 0300 when preparing to present a case the next morning. Also has excellent figures and gives more than enough information for any level to prepare. Does not have basic science or other info necessary for PGY1 and PGY2 to use as a core surgery textbook but a must have for PGY2 and higher for its clinical relevance. Rating: - Excellent companion to srugical text bookI'm not sure why anyone would consider this a substitute for a surgical text book. This book is meant to be a supplement to material one already knows. The point here is not an exhaustive coverage of general surgery. This is not meant to be a singular resource for residency. This is meant to refine one's decision making, which it does wonderfully. If you have a surgical text book, than this supplements it well by giving excellent discussions on key points in surgical care. If you don't have a surgical text book, you need one or else you will be quickly lost with this book. The online access allows one to download chapters from anywhere. The chapters are short and very dense, making it easy to read several in a busy day. Rating: - Excellent source for up to date surgical informationI found this book invaluable not only as a fast, reliable reference for my daily practice but also an invaluable tool to prepare for my oral boards. I believe this book is the MAIN reason why i passed and i felt very well prepared after reading it cover to cover. It has very sensible and accepted management strategies for different aspects covered on the orals. It is the true "Safe answers for the Boards". Forget the other publication with that title which proves to be outdated and misleading. Higly recommended. |
