Summary: Too skimpy
Rating: 3

This book has too little information for a med student, even in first or second year. A few areas are relatively well covered, but it's neither basic enough to be used as a learning tool nor detailed enough to be used as a reference. I use it once in a while, but only in conjuction with Harrison's, UptoDate, and other such references. You'll still need to go back to a Pathololgy and a Physiology text to find what you're looking for.

Summary: Amazon Site Review.
Rating: 5

I appreciate the promptness with which your company sends its products out, and I also appreciate that they remain in the new condition on arrival to me. Thank You. One drawback I have seen to your site is that when you end up being late sending an item there are times when you back the date up for several more weeks, which when your a student you need these books to arrive as soon as possible to keep up with reading assignments.

Summary: Excellent Pathophysiology book
Rating: 5

This is an excellent pathophysiology book available in the market. I am right now preparing for my step 2 but I wish I would have used this book for my step 1. I have a decent score on my step 1 and I have taken the exam recently and I think if somebody masters this book they can rock the exam. This book gives excellent information regarding many diseases. I am trying to study this book right now with CMDT, which is also by the same author. Because CMDT is a very concise text book of IM it doesn't explain all the pathophysiology for a disease but this book has all the answers about the pathophysiology of a disease. And I think its a worth buying book for all the medical students, if you study this book little by little during preclinical years it will help you very much understand the IM in the clinical years. I was surprize to find some infornation which I was craving for since few years of my med school. You will even find pathophysilogy of very rare syndromes, as for example I was amazed when I read about X linked Hypophosphatemic rickets. If you are like me who wants to have explanation behind everything, get this book today, you wan't be disappointed.

Summary: Graduate Nursing Student
Rating: 2

I found the book vague and unclear. It was recommended as a "reference" book for a graduate level pathophysiology course and it was the first book I returned. There are several other books on pathophysiology that are on the market for about the same price or a bit more that are MUCH more thorough and useful for undergraduate, graduate or medical student reference. I would NOT recommend this book for anyone looking at any type of indepth medical information.

Summary: Very confusing book for USMLE prep
Rating: 2

Hi there first of all I would like to say that I am from Brazil, Recife, Pernambuco. I went to a university called UPE, FESP which is in the north east part of Brazil. I bought this book because I thought that it would complement BRS pathology�
But it really didn�t so as I thought that it would;
I mean it does but its like discussing too much one some points so its just not really a good book for the USMLE step1 prep; I was actually led to think that because of something I had read on the first aid book that said that �
Really did not like the book at all for the usmle prep. Although you can see that it�s a very well made book and they put their hearts into making it but it�s just not good enough for the boards.
It�s not serving me any good I barely opened it since I bought it and I got their latest edition it was sort of a waste of money for me� I think that this book might be of value for the students at UCSF that are taking classes on introduction to medicine or something like that�
But for the usmle? Forget it�!!!
It�s really confusing, and there are no simple index for a particular disease, meaning If you look for something in specific it will be related with some many things that you wont see it right there; there won�t be simple diseases listed there for you to look at like that�
Every time I go look for something its not there or it�s in contest with something else makes you loose so much time looking at it to find it� It�s a very good book but not to be used as a complement to BRS pathology unless you�re taking the class.
Hope that this was of help to some of you�
Dr.Claudio A.G.Monteiro Filho.
