4.0 out of 5 stars
controversial,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essential Otolaryngology, 8/e (Paperback)
This book has been controversial for at least two reasons. The first reason is if colleagues are asked when to get this [thick, mostly outline format soft covered] text, some say right away for it can serve as a scaffold to "hang information on". And then there are those on the other side of the spectrum who say this book is difficult to take in for the junior folks on the service and should be reserved for those at the chief resident level who know these issues on several levels. The second controversy is that this book has a title of "essential" when it might not cover all that is actually essential. And, as a corollary, what about information that is "nonessential"? Shouldn't the BC/BE head and neck surgeon be familiar with those issues as well? Regardless of these issues, I have sampled several books and think this book does not have a contender in its class. I would highly recommend it IF one is going to buy a book about otolarynology, but not if they think that they have to get this book to be a knowledgeable house officer or ancillary professional. I bought this book as a PGY1 a few years ago and it has certainly been a handy text to have in the call room and to prepare for the inservice. This book should not be intended for medical students due to its density in relation to student rotation duration, or attendings in relation to their assumed familiarity with material.

Excellent reference,
This review is from: Essential Otolaryngology, 8/e (Paperback)
KJ LEE is an excellent reference text for Otolaryngology students with good explainations and wonderful illustrations. If you are a student wanting to do ENT you would benefit from this book immensely.
