Students on rotation or being PIMPed can quickly refer to Surgical Recall for accurate and on-the-spot answers. The book includes survival tactics and tips for success on the boards and wards as well as key information for those new to the surgical suite.

The Kindle version of this book is positively terrible across multiple platforms (Android, WP8, Desktop). The formatting is all over the place, often obliterating the columns and making all of the text run into a single massive paragraph, which renders it pretty much illegible. This doesn't happen all the time, only in specific sections. Additionally, it seems some (I'd approximate as ~15%) of the text is a scanned image, based on the fact that the font size is completely different from the rest of the book. Just overall a very disappointing and sloppy presentation, especially considering it costs just as much as the text version. This should be fixed.

This book shamelessly advertised as a bundle with the iPhone/iPad application.
No such application exist and there is no word on when it is going to come out.
Until there is word from the publisher, do yourself a favor and avoid purchasing this book. Borrow an older edition from a colleague. This is clearly a scheme for the publisher to try to milk more money out of students.
