 Rating:  - Good stuffMy orthopaedic rotation was only 5 weeks long (PA Student), nonetheless, this book was invaluable to me. It was in my lab coat as long as I was wearing it.

Rating: - It is a very good POCKET bookIt is a pocket book that you can carry everywere. It's very complete for a pocket book. I recomend it.
