Rating:  - Surgery text book review
At a glance this book shows why I did not become a surgeon. Very good diagrams and photos. Procedures are described in such a way that with my non surgical background I still find the book an entertaining read.
Rating:  - good for interns, simple for surgeons, very superficial for specialists
Ok, when compared to the "I can read series for surgery (ACS surgery)" this book obviously has much more valuable data and in depth chapters. But this book is simply lacking the information which is crucial for advanced learners. esp. the breast is simple for even 3.year med students. too many errors very unfortunate for such a book with reputation. many chapters are lacking detailed information, badly organized text, reads like a british book, not very appealing for people who are used to reading ...

Rating: - Too vague, boring to read
Unlike voluminous texts like Harrison's, I find this text written in such a fashion that it becomes a chore to read. Given, I am not going into surgery, but any well written textbook should hold someone's interest. I find the book too vague and low yield for medical students and probably too simplistic for surgical residents. Needless to say, I am going to try to sell it before the new edition comes out.
Rating:  - Too many errors

This book seemed more practical than Greenfield did. Furthermore, many of the contributors are my attendings and I rely on their brilliance and expertise daily.
My problem with this book (which is unfortunately a major one) is in the editing. There are several errors ... Read More
Rating: - The new edition is fantastic 2004
The Chapters on Pancreas, esophagus, gastric surgery (peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer), melanoma, and trauma, are all marvellous, i haven.t read the others. I find it better than the previous edition. It's the best book on surgery (not operative surgery), allthough i haven't yet looked at the new edition of Schwartz, that is coming in 2005.
