I award this book a BUYER RATING of 4/5. As some might have gathered I am a big fan of the Kumar and Clark Family. For me they are like the Osmonds and the Jacksons of today… except, they don’t sing or dance and they’re not actually a family. You get the drift though. However, Baby Clinical Surgery seems to have UHT filtered Mummy Clinical Surgery in other words unlike its medical twin it won’t always carry you through. Particularly once you’ve glanced at the Mummy versions and other surgery books. Nevertheless, I do own it and I like to start with an easier book before I stick my head into a book that’s heavier than me. And that’s what this book is great for. Its layout is perfect for easy learning and though I feel that it doesn’t go into enough detail it does touch most things that you’re likely to be asked in hospital. So although it’s not the perfect book for exams it is ideal for carrying around with you. Enjoy, Latifa (“,)
