4.0 out of 5 stars Great reference for Surgery Clerkship, December 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Washington Manual of Surgery: Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO (Lippincott Manual Series (Formerly known as the Spiral Manual Series)) (Paperback)
If you're looking for the most accurate "condensed" text for your Surgery Clerkship, this book is perfect. Only downside is that it doesn't organize the information for you in terms of standardized testing (Shelf, Step II) or getting "pimped" on the wards. You'll need another text that CLEARLY outlines "most likely diagnosis," "next step in management," indications, most pertinent complications, etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great to keep on hand., May 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Washington Manual of Surgery: Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO (Lippincott Manual Series (Formerly known as the Spiral Manual Series)) (Paperback)
Concise yet gives just enough detail for those who have studied this stuff multiple times but need a refresher. Small enough to keep in white coat pocket.

This review is from: The Washington Manual of Surgery: Department of Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO (Lippincott Manual Series (Formerly known as the Spiral Manual Series)) (Paperback)
This manual is worth the price. Curiously for a surgery manual there is no chapter dealing with common antibiotics you need to carry a second book for this. I believe that they have short changed soft tissue infections.
