Essentials of General Surgery (Paperback)

This book is just the right length for an aspiring surgeon to read during their surgery clerkship. If surgery isn't your bag then it's probably a bit much but is excellent as a reference for your patient's surgical issues. When compared against many of the larger texts such as Sabiston it doesn't seem to be missing much of the important information that I needed to write review papers or add to informal presentations. But it is much cheaper and less bulky, and thus ideal for medical students. I used this book along with the "Essentials of Surgical Specialties" volume.

Molle Military Field Medic Surgical Instrument Kit -Blk


Having bought this product for use on minor emergencies, I found it a good addition to my first aid equipment. The instruments are adiquate for the intended use. However the included penlight didn't work. The disposable penlight was a good inclusion in the kit, but all the items should have been checked for reliability before being sent to the consumer!!!!

U.S. Military Field Style Medic Surgical Instrument Kit


this helped me fulfill the dissection kit requirement for school. it had everything i was missing. due to the way it folds up it was very easy to add extra instruments and know that they won't fall out. the pocket works well to hold extra things like gloves, extra scalpel blades and scissors. the best part is that i can fold it all up and throw it into my school bag and i know everything i need is right there. so for me, it's perfect.
