this book is awesome for someone just passing thru general surgery as a resident. there are some errors - this is clearly a work in progress - but more so typos than anything else, and the collection of dictations are very basic. if you are looking for a more comprehensive guide try operative dictations in gen and vasc surgery.

Pretty small by W. Veale (Atlanta, GA USA)

As an upper level resident, it was not that helpful, and certainly small, especially in light of price. One would do better with intern survival guide, or a full length dictation book.

Good for a nervous intern though! I gave it to mine.
