This review is from: Case Files Obstetrics and Gynecology, Third Edition (LANGE Case Files) (Paperback)

One of my favorite books in this series. It covered every question that I had on my shelf examination in no time flat and it was an excellent read. In fact, I read through it so quickly that it really left me with more than enough time to read through other books during the rotation. You will find that it rarely introduces a topic that is far fetched, and it will never leave you with too little information about the topic being presented. The questions at the end of each chapter were well thought out and inquisitive. It gives a clinical spin on every topic, and it covers all of the "most commons" very well. Make no mistake, this is one of the best in the series and should be used frequently by med students trying to pass their shelf exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read - perfect for 10 minute breaks, August 15, 2010

This review is from: Case Files Obstetrics and Gynecology, Third Edition (LANGE Case Files) (Paperback)

A good book to read during the rotation, cases are easy to read and are short enough to read during those random 10-20 minute breaks during the day. Practice questions are sometimes irrelevant to the case, but nonetheless provide the opportunity to test your knowledge.
