Radiology On-Call Survival Guide

Rating:
Summary: "Peace of mind in your pocket!"
Review: Radiology has gone from being one of the easiest specialities to take call in to a nightmare in large institutions. This book is a must have for residents taking call in their first few years if not further. The book is not an all encompassing radiologic text, but rather a true "survival guide " for the most commonly encountered problems on call. It explains things in a "get it done" fashion! At three o'clock in the morning you don't want a fifty page explanation of a procedure, but rather a concise synopsis of the methods and pitfalls. It helps you organize your thoughts when you're to tired to spell your name! I highly recommend it!

Summary: Not very useful in my opinion
Review: This book tries to do the impossible: summarize everything you need to know when you get cases at midnight. It doesnt do that great a job in that regard, but where it does excel is in explaining procedures. Consider it a great buy if you do a lot of night time procedures.
