Reviews

BMA Book Awards 2008 - Highly Commended <br> One of the best pocket surgery books with an 'all you need to know' approach. It's nice and colourful and extensively covers the material. Most of the illustrations are excellent and worthwhile but occasionally they're a bit useless, like the picture of ulcerative colitis on p.192. It's very clearly laid-out (not just lists) with helpful illustrations and pictures. Clearly the authors know what they're talking about.
