Our Review

I got this book from a professor with the note “all you are going to need to know to stay out of trouble”. By god he was right.  This little book gave me more info in its 124 pages than I got from 6 months on rounds.  This book goes into the details on the role of each member, and how things are done in terms of writing notes, ordering tests, and performing procedures. 

Furthermore, the guidance of this book is the help needed for a confused 3rd year.  By the time I was  starting 3rd year rotations I was sure I could kill someone and not know how I did it. 

A must read just before you start 3rd year, makes a good gift to someone starting 3rd year also.
