Make A Decision (PDF)

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.
