Review: It has all the information a resident needs in the surgical ward. Well written. But lacks some information. Not to be used as a textbook.

Review: The Mont Reid Surgical Handbook is a unique medical source. Written by residents for other residents this book give you the very most essentials about the major issues in surgery. Moreover, it is easy to use and a pocket size. It gives you the right information on the right time about what to do and how to do it right. I cann`t wait for the next edition!!!

Summary: Covers everything. Good for those going into surgery.
Review: This is an excellent resource for residents. It contains detailed information on treatment plan, and is extremely well-organized with a good index, something that is lacking from many handbooks. However, it often misses information that might be necessary for medical students. If you are a medical student interested in surgery, then I highly recommend using this book along with another more rudimentary handbook such as Boards and Wards or Surgical Recall. It is good to start getting used to this book now. However, if you are a medical student who is not interested in going into surgery, then this book is overkill. It has more detail and information than you will need both on the wards and on your shelf.
