Surgical Recall, Fifth North American Edition (Recall Series) Review
I found the OR to be an almost laughable game once I started reading Recall. The attendings would ask the exact questions in Recall in almost every case with very few exceptions. Knowing what case you are about go into and taking the 10 mins or so to read the relevant chapter or section in Recall made answering those questions very easy.
I never tried to read Recall from cover to cover. Doing so would be painfully difficult as it is truly just a list of high yield facts with very little interpretation or explanation.
Recall is organized around procedures / diagnosis and as such is of limited use as a reference for expanding a differential diagnosis in a case write up.
It is, however, an absolutely invaluable tool for surviving the OR.

Great!! - ElleJay -
This is a book that I will not sell back after my clerkship. I will use it throughout my residency! It's a great book to look over really fast before heading into the OR.
