General Surgery (Board Review Series)

Rating:
Summary: Best review book for the shelf
Review: 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.

Summary: You should buy it now !
Review: 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.
