Doody's Book Review Service, 07-JUL-07, Neal Wilkinson, MD, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics -- "Surgeons in training should use this book to prepare for future cases, anticipate complications, and manage difficult situations. For surgical residents, this book should be on the short list of 'must read' texts."-Doody's Book Review Service
