OK, I am looking into this, and wondering what everyone's opinion on it is for the junior absite. I have the book, and it is not bad. I am wondering about the course and the online questions.

Thanks

I've never seen the real Surgisphere product, but I'm very familiar with their marketing scheme. They have posted multiple bogus reviews promoting their product, both on Amazon.com as well as here on SDN.

They make up screen names here, as well as real names on amazon, and state that the surgisphere product is great, and other ABSITE resources suck. Here are some examples.

I would recommend staying away from their product. We shouldn't support unethical marketing techniques. Besides, I wouldn't trust a product where the author is a "corporation." It's all very under-handed.

The online question bank is measly. Questions are incomplete and the most of the answers have no explanations. The majority of the pharm is out of date and so are many of the treatment modalities.

If I were you I would steer clear...

I cannot comment because of possible impending legal action against them (but that wouldn't prevent others who know the story from commenting).

Wow, just found this post...been a year no, legal action is done? what was the outcome?
cheers
