reviewer:carol Scott-conner, Md, Phd(university Of Iowa Hospitals And Clinics)
description:this Is A Compact Book Of 60 Surgical Cases, Organized By Presenting Symptom (e.g. Obesity Or Vomiting Blood) With Accompanying Questions For Self-study And Discussion. It Replaces A 2002 Edition.
purpose:the Purpose Is To Provide Readers (medical Students Or Junior Residents) With Material To Supplement Their Clinical Experience. The Cases Are Chosen To Be Representative Of The Spectrum Of Clinical Problems Encountered By Trainees. The Book Achieves This Worthy Goal.
audience:written For Medical Students And Junior Residents, The Book Appears Admirably Suited To This Audience. It Will Appeal To A Secondary Audience Of Surgical Educators Seeking To Refresh Their Approach To Case-based Learning, And To Surgeons Studying For Their Board Exams. The Three Authors Span The Gamut From General Surgery Through Vascular Surgery And Obstetrics/gynecology.
features:the Organization By Presenting Complaint Is Unique. Although Each Case Eventually Ends In A Specific Diagnosis, The Whole Range Of Diagnostic Possibilities Is Discussed. The Writing Is Extremely Lucid And The Cases Are Quite Real. The Book Would Benefit From Inclusion Of More Images (radiographs, Ultrasounds, Etc.).
assessment:this Is An Excellent And Extremely Readable Book That Will Be Of Value To Trainees At Various Stages Of Development. Attending Surgeons Might Find It Useful As A Model For Socratic Teaching. The Rapid Progress In The Field Justifies The New Edition.
