Customer Rating:  
Summary: Exactly what the descriptions said
Comment: I wasn't disappointed by anything. The book was as the descriptions said. and the delivery time was wonderful
Customer Rating:
Summary: Limited choices
Comment: Let's face it, there aren't too many textbooks written specifically for surgical technologists. So this is the basic text and it's ok. There's a ton of material and sometimes it's hard to judge which information is the most pertinent and important (you can't memorize the whole thing; you have to be able to find the high points). This was the only text used during the first semester of my program.
For the second semester, the instructor also required Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery. She stated that the surg tech book was still the primary resource, but she thought that Alexander's gave better descriptions of the surgical procedures with the understanding that Alexander's is written for nurses.
So this textbook probably is the standard for surgical technology programs, partly because no one else has written another one.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A great start for the AST.
Comment: As a student myself, I found that this book is highly readable, but oftentimes, the text and layout feels cramped as though the editors were attempting to place every single chart, picture, graph, and piece of text on as much square area for each page.
Otherwise, it's been a valuable tool in helping me prepare for the field of Surgical Technology.
I find that the workbook, which was required for my specific program, was often wholely unrelated to the material in the book, which is quite frustrating.
Would this book be sufficient for anyone to learn the profession? Probably not by itself, but it's definitely a beginning.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great educational book
Comment: I actually work in Central Sterile Processing. I found this book very useful with the information of surgical procedures, anotomy charts , surgical instruments. Plus it is very clear on its format, easy to understand and follow. This book will answer many questions that students going for surgical technology need or simple just like me, a person who works with surgical instruments on the daily basis.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't spend the money
Comment: This text is horable, there is info that is wrong. I am ST student . I would buy Alexdars it's the best book around.
