Main description:

"Fast Track Surgery: Trauma, Orthopaedics and the Subspecialties" is written for you, the medical student or junior doctor on your surgical rotation during the clinical years of medical school or starting off on your surgical training post-qualification. It focuses on most of what you can expect to see on the wards, and is written in a question-and-answer format covering the most commonly asked questions on the wards. The facts as you need to know them have been presented in a concise, accessible way. Also included are questions on clinically oriented anatomy, which will prove indispensable while in the operating theater with the consultant! This book is full of useful tips on how to survive your surgical rotation, and mnemonics to make the cramming process a bit easier. The two-columned layout allows you to cover the answers while you quiz yourself with the questions: a great way to revise. All in a book that's just the right size to carry around with you at all times! "Fast Track Surgery: Trauma, Orthopaedics and The Subspecialties" is the second book in PasTest's Fast Track range.
