Platinum Vignettes: Ultra-High-Yield Clinical Case Sceneros for Step 2 -Surgical Subspecialties
95% of Step 2 consists of clinical vignettes, and this exciting new review series presents a wealth of "guaranteed to be on the exam" clinical vignettes for Step 2 preparation to give the reader a clear-cut advantage. It is unique among case-based series in giving greater focus to high-yield information. The cases and accompanying images faithfully replicate the format of the case encounters presented in Step 2, and key points and important Step 2 "buzzwords" are highlighted for each case. The approach is simple and focused without leaving out any important information. Plus, the format gives readers the opportunity to guess the answer to the case before it is revealed and to postulate on which tests to order, what therapy to give and what to "watch out for" in the condition presented.Concise vignettes, following the current vignette-based format of Step 2

Hard-to-find info is right on the money
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
It's hard to find good subspecialty info when trying to review for step 2, even though all my colleagues warned me this stuff was on the test. I'm very glad I used this book, which has 50 cases that use an "unknown" case format, because I had many subspecialty questions on my exam (ophthalmology, vascular surgery and neurosurgery especially). This book gave me the info I needed to get these questions right and doesn't take long to read. I recommend it for those who, like me, are trying to do better than just squeak by on the test.
Great stuff!

Fantastic way to review for step 2. Great "vignettes" mimic the format of the seemingly eternally long clinical scenario questions that were on my exam. Explanations are superb, because they help you with the differential for similar conditions and give you practical pointers for things the boards love to ask or will try to trick you with. All in all, a great investment.
