What are your suggestions for good books (detailed and in bullet points style) in Surgery and ObGyn like the style of Step Up to Medicine(SUTM) in IM and BRS Pediatrics in Peds ????

Need Good book in Surygery and ObGyn like (SUTM in IM) and (BRS Pediatrics)?
- Thread starter agabozy
- Start date
-OB/GYN- I feel BRS OBGYN is pretty good. More important that that I think Lange Q and A + UWise are money for the shelf exam. I wish I had done Lange Q and A before the shelf...some of the tougher questions on the shelf like seizure med management during pregnancy seemed like they came straight from this book. Kaplan videos are not that bad but not necessary because it is mostly in the BRS book (same author/lecturer). Beckman is kind of boring to read. Pretest, Kaplan, UWORLD questions are okay I suppose.
-Surgery-I only found out about the BRS series during Peds. I feel the BRS series (2 surgery books-general and specialty) or NMS (not the cases book) book are best. BRS is nicer because it has questions at the end but the problem is that the books are older so some of the stuff may not be as current. The few questions I did do, I found them helpful. Did not like any of the question sources for this other than BRS, Kaplan QBank and UWorld...the latter two of which seemed to overemphasize certain topics over others (ortho, compartment syndrome, you know what I am talking about). Pretest and Lange blow for this shelf. Pestana vids are okay. There didn't seem to be great sources for Surgery (recall is good for pimpage).
