Summary: Perfect!
Comment: I used this book for finals.It's a fantastic introduction to surgery (as it assumes very little knowledge), and a great revision guide for finals (since it's orientated to exams right from the start) there's also a strong focus on what you need to know (including those rarities that are commonly asked about) and how to present information in a clinical exam. And yes there is sometimes a little waffle, since it takes a wordy "actually being talked through things by a friendly surgeon" approach, but this makes it more accessible in my opinion.
I used this in conjunction with Master Medicine: surgery 1 & 2 although this book does stand on it's own, I preferred to use a few books together to round off my understanding.
I'd also like to point out that even though it lacks as many pictures as other surgical books it makes up for it by far in text explanation.

Summary: A must have!
Comment: This book is one of those must have books for your collection. Perfect for students starting out on surgical attachments. The first few chapters are SO helpful. They provide you with a means of answering almost any medical question that can be thrown at you on wards and in exams.
Yes there are typos, but they are obvious. I am revising for finals just now and I am using this book and Rapid Surgery by Obi for surgical revision. Both great books.
Surgical talk has wider uses in that the infor in the early chapters will hold you in good stead for medical attachments as well. Cannot recommend this book highly enough. The authors have done a great job.

Summary: Excellent - but all those typing errors!
Comment: This is a great book, very readable and full of good content. If only the publishers had bothered to proof read it - just so many typos (at one point they even write former instead of latter!).
Having said this, the book is excellent and I'd still give it 5 stars.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Brilliant Book
Comment: You might find it difficult to believe that this book is so good but having used it extensively, along with "Browse's Introduction to the Symptoms and Signs of Surgical Diseases", on surgical attachments it has been instrumental in achieving exam success.
Its a great book to learn from as it is designed specifically for both written and clinical Finals, containing almost everything you need to know and presents it in such a concise format that it can be re-revised rapidly with exams looming (over 2 days). It doesnt matter that there are few diagrams as almost every word in the text is important. This book will arm you with the answers for any surgical question you come across.
I would recommend this whole-heartedly as a revision book and its emphasis on practical aspects will stand anyone in good stead for work.

Summary: Awesome!!!
Comment: I'm glad I believed the hype on amazon and bought this book. It ushered in a sea change in my confidence on ward rounds...suddenly I was the guy with the answers!
Worth your last penny.
PS Downside? a few typos but, hey! surgeons are always in a rush.
