5.0 out of 5 stars Best review book for the shelf, August 27, 2004

By	Bella (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

BRS General Surgery was the best book I found to prepare for wards and for the shelf...and believe me, I looked everywhere for a decent resource. If you make time to read through this several times, you'll do great on the shelf. The practice questions at the end of the chapters and the comprehensive exam are very comparable to what you'll see on the shelf. So don't go along with the herd and buy NMS, A&L, or Blueprints like everyone else...get this book instead and save yourself some time.

4.0 out of 5 stars You should buy it now !, May 4, 2003

By	Khalid Alnaqbi (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book very useful & concise. It gives you the most important issues in points rather than full text, which increases your efficiency with little effort! Its USMLE-case-type questions focus more on the treatment. I wish there could be more questions to give us more practice for the exam. It includes introduction to Anesthesiology, but unfortunately not Urology & Orthopedic surgery. In addition, it doesn't have many pictures or diagrams e.g. x-rays, diseases mechanisms.

4.0 out of 5 stars Right on the MONEY!, May 6, 2006

By	J. K. Park (Flushing, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Previous reviewer is right on the money. BRS Surgery was a great review book and it worked for me! The questions are very comparable to the difficulty of the shelf exam. Used it along with NMS casebook and did well enough to get Honors!! Outline format is a VERY quick read and you will retain MORE.
