By	"guptaprag" (NY,USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Underground Clinical Vignettes: Surgery, Classic Clinical Cases for USMLE Step 2 and Clerkship Review (Paperback)

I took my Step 2 and had a lot of questions on surgery and trauma.I feel this is a good book for Foriegn graduates taking the exam . But this book does not have any questions which is the only drawback.I recommend that it is useful to go through before taking the exam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reviewing EM for the boards, October 7, 2000

By	"guptaprag" (NY,USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Underground Clinical Vignettes: Surgery, Classic Clinical Cases for USMLE Step 2 and Clerkship Review (Paperback)

This is a good book to review ER cases for the boards.I just took my Step 2 and found this book to be useful.Actually it is an excellent book for Foriegn medical graduates taking the boards . The content is high yield and relevant.The cases in the book are the most frequent ones asked on the boards.But the only drawback which i felt this book has, is that it does not have questions.Otherwise it is a good book to go through.
