    I'm a 6th year medical student finishing my final exams. I've found this a great reference when I need to review the basics of specific medical diseases fast while reading larger texts. Great for it's intended purpose. Just don't try to use this as your only textbook.

              Customer Reviews:

              4 out of 5 stars Surgery At a Glance by Grace & Borley.......2006-05-19

              Three major strengths of this book: 1:Excellent diagrams- present key points in very memorable and manageable form. 2:Disease descriptions are crystal clear, so there's no chance of you getting confused between different diseases. 3:Right amount of emphasis on symptoms, tests and diagnosis, very handy when preparing for surgery rotation.

              Overall very readable. Works both as an introductory text and a revision aid. Fills you in on stuff you might have missed in lectures. Once you get used to sifting around the short chapters, you will learn a great deal from it. Wide array of subjects covered with imaginative use of tables and box diagrams. Authors know which topics are more difficult to understand and they take care in explaining them effectively. For example, in the section on surgical infection where there is a lot of detail to take in. Authoritative instructions given in brief but helpful summaries at end of each chapter.
