Pocket Guide to the operating room, by Maxine Goldman, 2nd edition, brand new; 5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide, simple to understand; Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2012; I bought this edition of the book while I was a surgical technologist student. It was a great resource to have while I did my clinicals. (Clinicals = working in an operating room for free with a teacher/preceptor helping and watching). I was able to lookup the surgeries I would assist in very easily and it does help pass instruments when you can anticipate what the surgeon will need. The book has a broad range of surgeries that cover many of the ones done most often. I would recommend this book to any student that will be in the O.R., nurses, medical students, PA students, and even sales reps. Published by F.A.
