Believe me, this book is great for ENT rotation! Covers all things that Attendings will ask you. Also the author, Dr. Bull, is a very funny guy and makes jokes that'll keep you interested. Great addition to your library! Illustrated in colour throughout with clinical photographs, this pocket-sized reference book contains lecture notes on the diseases of the ear, nose and throat. The mastoid cells form a honeycomb within the temporal bone, acting as a reservoir of air to limit pressure changes within the middle ear. A useful primer for students, casualty officers and general practitioners.
