4.0 out of 5 stars Covers everything. Good for those going into surgery., March 4, 2004

By	Bergy - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mont Reid Surgical Handbook (Paperback)

This is an excellent resource for residents. It contains detailed information on treatment plan, and is extremely well-organized with a good index, something that is lacking from many handbooks. However, it often misses information that might be necessary for medical students. If you are a medical student interested in surgery, then I highly recommend using this book along with another more rudimentary handbook such as Boards and Wards or Surgical Recall. It is good to start getting used to this book now. However, if you are a medical student who is not interested in going into surgery, then this book is overkill. It has more detail and information than you will need both on the wards and on your shelf.

3.0 out of 5 stars a decent outline of surgical facts, October 4, 1998

This review is from: The Mont Reid Surgical Handbook (Paperback)

This is only a handbook. As a result, it is not very complete. I would not recommend "Mont Reid" if you are looking to carry a broad based quick reference book.
