Schein's Common Sense Emergency Abdominal Surgery: An Unconventional Book for Trainees and Thinking Surgeons
From the reviews of the third edition: “The title describes this book perfectly. This is a no-nonsense approach to the sometimes very difficult situations in general surgery. … The authors describe their experiences in tough situations of patient care for residents and young attendings. … the historical quotes add a good amount of insight and interest. I have not come across another book like this. … Focused on the real situations that surgeons come across, the book answers the questions that are not addressed in the major textbooks.” (Robert A. Hanfland, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2010)
