Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"Simply put, this is an excellent book. While I am somewhat of a bibliophile, I think that all surgical residents should have a book of this genre to use during their residency. It provides the cornerstone of surgical education. It breadth and inclusiveness keeps it relevant throughout training and into the early years of practice."

-- Peter Nau, MD, MS (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics)
