Title: This book tries to educate by confusion of issues
Product review: Unknowingly I ordered the Sabiston Textbook of Surgery, 15th Edition. The author/editors have tried to make the leap from traditional medical education to current thinking in modern medical education. It landed in the middle and from a practical learning standpoint is more useful as a paperweight than as a textbook. It also contains significant prejudical information which appears to have resulted from the author/editor's bias about who should be doing what to whom, rather than to base such decisions on education and training. I would strongly advise the medical student to consider Schartz which is lightyears ahead of Dr. Sabiston's text.I am used to seeing both poor work and bias as well as scientific worth and strength. This book would not be even on book list if it were known how many copies are dust collectors on dark selves. No wonder it is out of print. Goodbye
