2008-03-25 General Surgery (lecture notes) - a very useful book.

Having been highly recommended by 5th years as well as F1 doctors, I knew that Lecture Notes in General Surgery was a book worth investing in. The more simple "revision style" of book seems to be becoming increasingly popular among medical students such as myself and much preferred to the larger more detailed text books. It's short concise chapters talk about all the essential surgical procedures that you have to know about for your examinations in 3rd year and is also much used by 5th years. This book should be your first port of call to get a good understanding of surgery before consulting a more detailed textbook.
