Good books for pimping? I'd suggest one of these...

I'm sure there are other quality books out there as well.

As for an actual book for a med student rotation, perhaps "Basics of Anesthesia" by Stoelting and Miller aka "baby Miller".

New Baby Miller is the best book that I can suggest- concise and not too daunting.

The best book for pimping is Anesthesia Secrets, as it is written in a "pimp-answer" format.
 
I agree, "Secrets" is a good book for pimping. You won't have time to get through Miller or Morgan on a med student Anesthesia rotation, so this book is good enough. Its very focused, but basic. Don't worry, you'll learn the specifics next year.
 
Good knowledge of Cardio/Pulm physiology from any of the RECALL series will be key also. The old school Board Review Series was great for this back when I was a med student. The attending will definitely expect you to know this stuff cold, since you're fresh off STEP I/II! Good luck.
