3rd year med student.......2007-09-17
I got this book as a third year med student and used it for one third year rotation and one fourth year rotation. It definitely helped with pimp questions and for a basic understanding of each operation or organ system. The book is written in question-answer format. Excellent for the wards, even many interns carry this. However, I do not recommend it as a study aid for the shelf test mainly because in some places it has too little detail, in other places, it has too much detail. It serves its purpose to acquaint med students to the wards, and to give away favorite pimp question answers eg. "What is the infundibulum of the gall bladder also called?" - "Hartmann's pouch".
A Must have!.......2007-07-30
Excellent review source for boards! Slips into your pocket for easy reference. Consider the PDA version also!
MUST HAVE!.......2007-06-21
Totally awesome. yeah it has some stuff you dont need, but almost every question that i got pimped on was in this book. excellent q&a complement to first aid. start reading this on day 1. Buy it.
great book.......2007-06-11
although residents and attendings don't like med students to carry this book around, it's great! It has all the pimping answers and is great quick review before going into the OR.
Made me stand out on the wards.......2007-06-01
I decided to go into Family Medicine (surgeons have to be awake too early too often for my lazy butt). I completely enjoyed my surgery rotations in med school and my surgical training in residency so much more because of this little book. I even ended up buying the Advanced Surgical Recall and still remember those books with fondness. The info still comes in handy since I work in a rural area and see a wide variety of cases.
BUY THIS BOOK or at least borrow it from someone. It is invaluable, and I think every senior resident and attending gets their pimp questions directly from this book. You will be able to answer every question in surgery, and it makes the surgeries more interesting. You'll get a smidgen of respect from your upper levels and attendings. Let's face it, most med students in the OR are glorified retractors, attracting hostility from the surgeons and scrub nurses. So, if you can answer their best pimp questions, they might just let you assist in a more meaningful way during the surgeries. (That's what happened to me!)
Book Description
Thoroughly updated to reflect current, evidence-based surgical practice, this book is a comprehensive review of the topics on the American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination (ABSITE), the certifying exam, and recertification exams. Chapters are co-authored by residents and faculty in the University of Pennsylvania Department of Surgery and integrate basic science with clinical practice. More than 300 illustrations complement the text. This edition includes a new chapter on pediatric surgery and a comprehensive new trauma section covering evaluation, resuscitation, shock, acid-base disturbances, traumatic injuries, and burn management. All chapters in this edition end with Key Concept summaries for rapid review.
Customer Reviews:
A terrific review for the ABSITE.......2003-07-28
I read this book and my in-training exam score went up by over sixty points. It's not exactly a quick read at over 500 pages, but it's very readable and it contains all the information covered in the ABSITE exam. I highly recommend it as a review book for surgery residents looking to improve their scores.
Intense absite review.......2001-06-28
This book is the first of its kind to prepare you in total for the Absite examination. This book incorporates basic science with the clinical science in order to allow you to review for the tests in a short text version without having to decipher through large textbooks. It has references to O'leary, the basic science book used during my residency, as well as to other major textbooks. This book seems to cut out the redundency of larger books and includes small facts that they love to ask on the exam. A must for those with weak scores or those looking to gain extra points... who isn't.
Book Description

Book Description
Advanced Surgical Recall is a study aid for students and residents who have progressed past their introductory experiences in the discipline of surgery. In addition to providing in-depth coverage of the basic sciences and advanced and subspecialty surgical procedures, this edition is thoroughly illustrated with detailed images of important anatomic landmarks and appropriate surgical techniques. It is a useful resource for studying on rounds, the ABSITE exam and surgery boards. It can also serve as a source of questions for teachers of surgery, particularly for the activity of teaching rounds. The book is written in the popular rapid-fire question and answer format of the Recall series.
Customer Reviews:
Surgery Resident Review.......2000-12-30
This book is designed for surgical residents. Medical students should do well with a student oriented text and the little Surgical Recall.
Residents on the other hand will find this to be a useful review especially before the ABSITE.
This is what your memory needs!.......2000-05-26
This is one of the best investment in medical books that I have made. I am in 3rd year now and have accumulated heaps of COMPREHENSIVE books that I have only ever just flipped through. Since buying "Advanced Surgical Recall", I have used it every single time a topic pops up in my surgical term. It includes topics on General Surgery as well as Surgical Specialties, plus other useful background information. There is also some anatomy, with occasional drawings to emphasize. Admittedly, some of the questions are too advanced for me at this stage (I also love my "Surgical Recall" but that's another story, by the way the 2 books are complementary and in no way exclude the usefulness of the other), but the majority are just what I need! I anticipate I will find it completely relevant for my 4th year exam next year. The 2 column format with questions on the left and answers on the right is ideal for testing those neurons...and the bookmark that comes with the book is absolutely indispensable. Basically it emphasizes what you would need to know and not more. The only thing is...I wish there is a version with metric units, any references to fluid and electrolyte measurements are totally meaningless to me here is Australia. I will write them in I think. Of course you will still need a proper surgical text, admittedly I have written in a few additional points in the book that I thought were important from reading other texts. But I had my surgical exam just today and the use of this book in revision was just invaluable. Not to mention those times when you do not feel like even glancing at your big surgery text, or when you have about 10 minutes spare while waiting in the car or for the pasta to cook....just attempting a few questions will make you feel constructive! This book has started a craze in me to check out all the other books in the "Recall" series...oh dear looks like an expensive year for me!

Book Description
Do Butlers Burgle Banks? features the hither to fortunate owner of Bond's Bank, who find himself in a spot of trouble so serious that he wants someone to burgle the bank before the trustees inspect it. Fortunately for him, Horace Appleby, currently posing as his butler, is on hand to oblige. For Horace is, in fact, not a butler at all but the best sort of gangster, prudently concealing himself in an English country house while hiding from his rivals. Looking for peace and safety, Horace is to discover before long that the hotspots of Chicago are a whole lot more restful than the English countryside. This is the lightest of light comedies, a Woodhousean soufflé from his later years.
Customer Reviews:
Typical Wodehouse.......2007-05-09
The subject of this review says it all, really.
Definitely worth reading, if you have never read a Wodehouse novel, or are reading one after a while...
A Gentle Classic.......2000-01-25
A gentle beautiful fantasy of a book. It's been claimed that Wodehouse is somewhat lacking in variety that if you've read one you've read them all. This book argues against that there is all the feeling and romance that anyone could ask for it is warm witty and wonderful, it maybe lacks the comfortability of a Jeeves or Blandings story or the freshness of Laughing Gas but it is still absolutely brilliant.
Mental Twinkies.......1999-04-05
A true Wodehousian romance, complete with chivalrous gangsters, plucky young women and feisty older ones, bank robbers "getting religion," and pious Scotland Yarders getting their comeuppance. A soothing little snack for the mind.
More Wodehouse silliness--without Jeeves!.......1998-02-01
To those readers of Wodehouse stuck only on Bertie & Jeeves, I urge you to explore further with this tale. Gently satirical, romantic, timeless, and, of course, complexly and predictably plotted, with the usual dose of P.G.'s silliness. Who needs more? An enjoyable read.
