Preparation for Trauma Elective

[Michael Stein M.D.]

Dear Paddy,

Read "Top knife - The art & craft of Trauma Surgery" by Hirshberg & Mattox.

Great little book.

Subject: Preparation for Trauma Elective

Dear Group -

(This is in the "all questions are good" spirit that somebody mentioned
yesterday!)

I'm a 4th year medical student from Ireland and I'm undertaking an elective
in Trauma Surgery in Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Johannesburg this
July, and just realised that (in terms of reading anyways) I'm woefully
underprepared. I'm sure many of the group members have personal preferences
- would anybody like to point me in the direction of a few good articles or
textbooks, be they online or otherwise?

Any other advice or pearls of wisdom also appreciated!

Thanks

Paddy
