During my 4th year of medical school I struggled and ultimately failed to find a concise yet comprehensive handbook of otolaryngology. After reviewing many handbooks of ENT during the first 2 years of my residency, I have concluded that Dr. Pasha's book is the most well-organized, concise review of otolaryngology available. All ENT interns, junior residents, and 4th year medical students should have this book. It is worth the price.

An excellent book on Otolarynology; very comprehensive, yet easy to read, less mistakes; a practical tool useful not only for medical students and residents, but also for all otolaryngologists currently active in practice; great format; lots of up to date practical clinical information; certainly better than the book by K. J. Lee. Also recommend reading Facial Plastic Section which is outstanding

This book is indeed used by many of the ENT residents. I didn't find it as useful on my externships and ENT rotations as other resources. The index is very skeletal and information is sometimes difficult to find. It is more useful for the resident trying to memorize lists of topic associations for their board exams, than it is for medical students who are concerned with the fundamentals and with correctly answering pimping questions. Furthermore, it is very expensive and used copies are difficult to find. Personally, I found using ENT secrets in conjunction with Lange's book more effective.

It's like borrowing the notes from your chief resident -- a thoroughly understandable, straight-forward review of otolaryngology. It's very helpful to establish a framework of understanding to allow further review of a subject. I wish I'd had it when I started my residency.

An exellent comprehensive review of Otolaryngology! Excellent clinical information, the best ENT review available!

I am very pleased with this book, and it is so compact!
I did use it for preparation for boards, but it has a major weakness in plastics. There were some glaring gaps in that section as well as some incorrect information. I used Papel's book for plastics and this one for everything else and did great.
A must have.

i used this book exclusively to cram for the boards; it works.

This product shipped quickly and came in mint condition, just as described.

Thanks!

I use this book just prior to conference or the OR as a quick refresher for cases when I was a junior resident and also as a companion when studying for the yearly inservice. It is generally quick/concise text.

I gave it 3 stars because the index is poorly organized. Unless you know the chapter where the information is located, you can be assured that you will not be able to find in a timely manner.

An impressive quantity of information presented in a small easy to carry around book. Good lay out makes easy reading. Index is rubbish but I am sure this is to keep the size of the book to a minimum.
