Comprehensive Handbook Obstetrics and Gynecology

Overall impression: Amazing book for the OBGYN resident and medical student. Although this book may be a bit overwhelming to a medical student, there is important clinical information and details not found in similar products (case files/First Aid) or not presented in such a detailed and comprehensive manner. For example, the first chapter on L&D, includes common discussions heard in the OB workroom while assessing a woman in labor. Such as, pelvic anatomy, infant head position, L&D interventions like pit and AROM, measurements of pelvic inlet, etc, etc. This continues throughout the workbook and definitely earns the "Comprehensive" in the title. Highly recommend to all OBGYN residents and the medical students going onto their OBGYN rotation who want to shine or who want to actually understand resident and faculty discussions on more of the intricate details of OB/GYN! Stars: 5/5 BEST USE: Resident understanding and reference. Great for medical students CONTENT: COMPREHENSIVE! HIGH YIELD: Does hit all the high yield topics but also covers important information for OB and GYN rotations that wont be tested on the shelf. QUALITY: Very high quality. Great spine and spine glue. The leather cover is a nice touch! PRINTING AND IMAGING: Text is small but easy to read. High quality pictures and text clarity BOOK SIZE: Small. Larger and thicker than maxwell's but smaller and thinner than harvard purple book. TEXT SIZE: Small but easy to read.

I found this book to be very helpful during my OBGYN clerkship. It offers information for every hour of your daily training. Everything from the way you would diagnose and treat a patient presenting to triage (ER for the pregnant), drugs you would prescribe, tests you should run for patients coming in for their annual checkup, and even all the steps involved in performing a C-Section, including the layers of muscles to penetrate and name of each surgical equipment used in doing so. Another great thing about this book is that it fits right in the back pocket and is easy to use using the index in the back. Often, if was told that i must scrub for say hysterectomy, i would quickly pull out this book and make sure i read about hysterectomy, even specific type (abdominal, laparoscopic, etc). During the surgery, I was often asked about aspects of the procedure and i was able to answer most questions because of reading this book just minutes prior to the procedure. This really impressed residents and attendings.

Dr. Zheng has created the best book of its kind. This book is truly "comprehensive". It has everything from the latest ACOG guidelines for abnormal paps, to knot tying techniques, to order sets, to dictations for operative, procedure and progress notes. There's even some medical spanish in the back. This is, of course, in addition to the concise, comprehensive coverage of all the important topics in OB/GYN. Everything is organized in an easy to use format, with color coded sections. It covers just about anything you will see on an OB call night. Having this information at your fingertips will be a huge timesaver and a benefit to your patients. This latest edition is fantatic. The cover and pages will definitely standup to the rigors of a resident's white coat pocket. This book is a must have for anyone doing OB/GYN either as a nursing student, medical student, resident, or practicing physician. I am currently a family physician and find the gynecology section indispensable in my daily practice. I wish I had this book while I was in residency. Congratulations to Dr. Zheng for writing such a wonderful book.

One of my faculty members recommended this book before I started my Ob/Gyn rotation and I'm really happy that she did! It fit perfectly in my white coat pocket and it had everything in it - from OB triage, conditions, delivery, GYN conditions, to suturing, writing a note, etc. Really great to have around when you're not busy and can pull out to learn/reference back to. Great addition to prep for EOR exam Highly recommend to any PA or med student!

I bought this book on recommendation from the head of our OB/GYN department at my medical school and have found it to be absolutely invaluable. It contains almost all of the pertinent information you will need to know for your most common management issues of the OB/GYN patient. I noticed that when I started my rotation, most of the residents also had this little book, and they use it religiously. Fits very nicely in your coat pocket, scrub pocket, wherever. Great, detailed index for quick look-up of various topics at hand. Highly recommend for any medical student looking to do well on their OB/GYN rotation. I intend to use it on into residency.

I am a PA student and used this on my OB/GYN rotation and IT was like a Bible !!! Love it- has everything you need to know and it fits well in a whitec oat pocket!!! Helps with EOR studying (As well) ~ I highly recommend!

What a great, comprehensive handbook that can fit easily in your pocket...even scrub pockets!! Despite it being several years old, most of the information is up to date (I mean people have been having babies since the beginning, not much has changed ;) haha). Of course, as new practice bulletins come out then this info will need to change. I've just been writing small notes within the text as needed. The information is nicely organized and easy to find. Especially with the index in the back. Again, for its small size, this is great resource that is quickly accessible during rounds. Perfect for residents and even medical students if they are considering pursuing Ob/Gyn. The only reason I gave this 4 of 5 stars is because the cover is separating from binding. Must be something with the glue. I don't think others have had this issue though. On the bright side, I now have a pocket guide that basically lays flat ;)

I bought this for my OB/Gyn clerkship for medical school after I saw one of the residents with it, and it's the best pocket reference resource I've had so far. Basically every pimp question and clinical situation I encountered was covered in the book. It also has detailed information that I'll be able to use in residency - dosing for antibiotics and other medications for various conditions, diagnostic testing and criteria, and tons of other great info

Helpful on-call! User-friendly.
