Book description
You're the general surgeon on call. It is you who has to
decide every course of action over your shift. Make the right
decisions or face the consequences...
Taking a role-playing approach, Make A Decision: Surgery
allows you to be the book's main character - Dr A. Simpson - a junior
general surgeon on call in a busy teaching hospital. Your decisions
and actions determine the clinical outcomes of real patients within a
number of scenarios. Each scenario branches out and unfolds as you
make more decisions, but choose incorrectly and you may be sent home
by your boss! Every decision you make is scored and evidence-based
feedback is presented at the end of each scenario together with the
correct clinical response and an explanation of what actually happened
to the patient.
Blood work and radiological investigations presented in typical
clinical formats allow you to practise your data interpretation
skills, whilst your skills in clinical communication are tested to the
full as you interact with patients and their families as well as
co-members of staff.
Based on first-hand experience, the authors have selected real cases
that have impacted on their practice and reflect important points of
learning, making the book perfect for medical students, junior
doctors, and surgery trainees who are looking for a scenario-based,
interactive way to learn.
