Review
For superb descriptions of the signs and symptoms of surgical disease, this is a masterwork. -- Journal of Vascular Surgery For senior medical students, I recommend Browse's 'Symptoms and Signs of Surgical Disease'. It is deservedly popular, partly because of its excellent pictures and good descriptions of how to examine the relevant organs and systems. -- British Medical Journal This need for a systematic approach to history taking and the significance of symptoms and physical signs in surgical conditions has been admirably fulfilled... -- The Lancet This book restores one's faith in what can be achieved by a clear minded author sure of what he wants to say, armed with the facility for constructing superb line diagrams...I shall certainly recommend this book to my students with confidence and enthusiasm. -- Medical Teacher This books is, arguably, the best there is. I recommend it strongly to all medical students and surgical tainees, who will find it very useful throughout their surgical careers. -- The British Journal of Surgery
