The "Crash Course" series provides a comprehensive set of notes to take medical students through their clinical years. This book can be used either as a revision aid or as a supplement to course textbooks. Built-in features have been designed to maximise access to information and to help remember information. "Crash Course Surgery" reflects the way in which the medical student will deal with patients in real-life situations. First it takes them through the common presentations in surgery and their differential diagnosis. Part II considers taking the history and examination of the patient. This is followed by guidelines on how to write up a medical clerking and a consideration of the common investigations performed in surgery. Part III takes the conditions outlined in Part I and considers them in more detail, looking at background information and management plans. Multiple choice, short answer and case based questions make up Part IV and allow the reader to assess their understanding and test exam performance.
