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.
