Anyone in medical school who aspires to be a surgeon knows that Surgical Recall is the book to memorize. If you hate reading or would like to imagine your mom and dad are teaching you about surgery as you are about to fall asleep, I have the perfect remedy for you.
I was cruising around online and found a version of Surgical Recall that is in mp3 audio format. It is literally a woman's voice reading the surgical questions from each chapter. After a brief pause, a very manly man's voice answers the question. There is no additional pause to show the whole class the pictures. You can read along with the book or just listen and try to answer the questions faster than the woman. She sounds pretty hot as well. Sa-Weet!
The audio format is also useful for wasting time when traveling to the hospital via the car, bus, camel, magic carpet, elephant, Viking war ship or knacker pulled wagon. My school is very multicultural, which is represented by the students' various methods of transportation.
You can buy the audio book from Amazon.com (I have put a link on the lower right). The chapter files will download automatically and you only have to open the zip file which should open magically into I-tunes. I assume it works the same way with a PC; I am not sure, because I roll with a Mac.
The cost of Surgical Recall Audio is between 33 and 39 dollars. This sucks if you're buying the product in dollars, but if you are purchasing Surgical Recall via Euro to dollar conversion, then your only spending about 3 Euros or 1.98 million pesos (insert bitter sarcasm here due to the fact that a certain student's loan check is in dollars which is later converted to Euros). Dang!
Regardless, the Surgical Recall Audio is a good purchase. I like it so much I take it to bed every night! "Oh really?" Oh Yes! The same students who listened to Goljan when studying pathology will be interested in this download.
