Review quotes

"This is a unique book for residents and practitioners in otolaryngology, oncology and surgical fields relating to them to test their book-based and practical knowledge and insight on various abnormalities, ailments, diseases and disorders of the head and neck. The format of this book is interesting and unusual but very useful. It enables you the student or practitioner, to learn something you may not yet know, or refresh your particular or specific knowledge by testing yourself. You can then study more on the areas you may find yourself weak in, and retest yourself on those areas.This book also serves as a valuable handy reference guide to the answers you seek in your practice on the numerous questions that come to your mind." ~Nano Khilnani
