Summary: Surgeon's best friend
Review: If you only have time to read one book, this is the one. Every topic is boiled down to only the pure gold. All the useless facts that you can't remember anyway are left out. Presented in an easy to understand, easy to remember format. This is really all you need. I plan on reading every new issue when available. By the way, I've read Schwartz, Norton, Sabiston, and ACS over the past few years. All are good, but I already work long enough hours for my free time to be spent reading such lengthy texts.

Summary: Good, But:
Review: This is an easy to read surgery text with up to date techniques and tests; however, there are numerous errors in the text. For the most part they are simple ones, easily reasoned out (i.e. gastric pH decreased with PPIs); but, for a seventh edition this kind of sloppiness calls into question the integrity of rest of the text.

Summary: Must have for boards
Review: This is the book which any surgeon studying for the general surgery oral boards MUST read. It covers a broad range of practical information. FYI -- When I took my boards, everyone told me to read Schwartz for the written and Cameron for the orals; I did that and passed (I think) easily. Although I think some of the new textbooks such as Dr. Greenfield's give Schwartz a run for the money, no other book challenges Cameron for studying for the oral boards.

Summary: Is an excellent book that every Surgeon must have
Review: This text is the working man's guide to surgery, with a practical hands on approach that I find rare among surgical texts. It is a great source to read in preparing for general surgery board examinations, too. I highly recommend it.
