Blueprints Clinical Cases in Surgery - Tapa blanda

Doody's Book Review Service, Susan Skaff Hagen, MD, MSPH, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics -- "This is an excellent companion for medical students on their general surgery rotation or for those preparing for the USMLE Step 2 or 3. Many improvements are incorporated into this edition, such as making it manageable yet transportable, updated and new cases, excellent suggested readings, and a question and answer section with over 100 USMLE-style questions with thorough explanations. This book fills a unique niche in that it is an excellent combination of descriptive, illustrative, and tabular styles with questions to test the reader's knowledge."--Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 92, 4 Stars)
