Following are the pros of reading Bailey and Love:
- Master textbook followed by most of the competitive exams, so it is a must read if you are aiming for NEET PG preparation, MRCS preparation and NEET superspecialty preparation
- It covers all topics very well and is easy to read and understand. It is a good book for concept building
- Most MCQs from general surgery coming in competitive exams are made from Bailey and Love
- Even after joining MS General surgery, Bailey and Love is very useful
Following are the cons for reading Bailey and Love:
- The only downside I can think of is that things are not given in point wise manner, the way we have to write Long notes and short notes in university exams. There are no separate subheadings like introduction, clinical features, investigations and management. Usually everything is given in paragraphs and you have to sort things out to remember or make notes.
- In this aspect SRB is better and makes it easier for you to revise, but it stresses more towards facts than concepts.
My take: If you are serious about PG preparation and MRCS preparation in future and if you are able to make notes or use marker pen for Annotations on Bailey, then it is the book of choice. Otherwise you can go for SRB.
