Book Reviews of Essentials of General Surgery
Book Review: Decent book to read on surgery rotation
Summary: 4 Stars
We all know about Lawrence's Essentials book. Lawrence provided a great review of physiology, wound healing, and perioperative care all while keeping the depth appropriate to a medical student. Students are often asked about anatomy relevant to the procedure at hand but some of the questioning from attendings has to do with the procedure itself. The section at the end on surgical procedures helps orient you to some of the most common cases seen on a general surgery rotation. It is in your best interest to not only be up on the anatomy of the case, but the procedure details as well. This book provides a general overview of anatomy, physiology, as well as relevant complications of each type of case . It is organized by systems, as most texts are.
Book Review: Not appropriate for clerkship
Summary: 2 Stars
This book has a lot of good information, but with the extremely limited time available during surgery clerkship it is too dense to use as a study guide. Even if you are interested in doing surgery I think there would be a better more comprehensive textbook that you could buy to continue to use after clerkship. In 10 weeks I probably opened this book 5 or 6 times.Book Review: Solid
Summary: 3 Stars
This book can be read in a short time and give sufficient knowledge base for surgery clerkship. With that said, I did not like the format of the book as I felt it was too bland. This could be however a result of all the high yeild/bullet format books out on the market that I might be used to. I recommend reading only a select chapters in this book.Book Review: Essentials of General Surgery
Summary: 4 Stars
My son is a doctor in his 2nd year Residency in General Surgery at one of the leading hospitals in NJ. I bought this book a while ago,while he was still attending medical school- To put in his own words the book was well presented -very informative and rewarding. He did well using this book and I will recommend to others.Book Review: Limited and too too General
Summary: 3 Stars
Although Essentials of General Surgery has a place. It is just that "GENERAL". It has limited info about specifics related to procedures. See review titled MUSHY posted by another reviewer. "Essentials of Surgical Specialties" is much more detail oriented.
