Comprehensive Handbook Obstetrics and Gynecology Leather Bound – January 1, 2012

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: 5/5BEST USE: Resident understanding and reference.

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.

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.

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 examHighly recommend to any PA or med student!

I carry this book with me to clinicals and reference it frequently. It's small enough to fit in a lab coat pocket comfortably, is easy to navigate and has lots of pictures which can be useful when educating patients. It was recommended to me by one of my professors and my classmates often ask about it or ask to borrow it. It is a great resource for any family planning or OBGYN provider or student.

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
