Advanced Surgical Recall, 4e (Recall Series)

Great product - would buy again

I loved the first surgical recall. This one I did not find as applicable to Surgery rotations as a 4th year medical student. Maybe at a higher level.. but I don’t think I’d recommend for anyone.

It would be difficult for me to disagree more than I do with the first reviewer. I used Surgical Recall as a medical student. I used Adavanced Surgical Recall as a resident. When I started fellowship several years after practicing general surgery I bought a new edition of Advanced Surgical Recall. This book has consistently been my "go to" source for general surgical pearls for over ten years.I understand that the previous reviewer wants an electronic version, but the true benefit of this book is being able to conceal the answers and test yourself. Also there have been numerous studies showing that hard copy materials foster more retention than electronic ones.If you are a medical student, an intern on a general surgery rotation, or an early general surgery resident this book will get you to answer 95% or more of your attendings' pimp questions. As a staff surgeon I consider this book to be the yard stick I measure resident knowledge by - if it's in Recall, you HAVE to know it - if you don't I am riding you pretty hard. As I used several sources to study for my ABSITEs and boards (including Recall) I cannot say which one was my favorite for board review. I do know that for the other 364 days of the year when there is not an ABSITE this should be the book you are carrying with you.

As a fan of Surgical Recall, this Advanced Recall is a disappointment. Some topics are just browsed over with too few questions. I would recommend that the authors combine this material with the Surgical Recall into one book.

Really LWW? Not formatted for Kindle on iPhone? As an extremely busy surgical resident, do you honestly think I'm going to have time to read/use this book any other way? I would have been all over it, having seen an older print version of the book as a med student. But no iPhone formatting means I'll stick to something else- If I'm going to lug around an actual BOOK, it will certainly be Comprehensive ABSITE Review by Fiser, not this one.

Non sono soddisfatto per niente, richiesto il rimborso, sconsiglio sinceramente.
