I was very disappointed to pay $40 for a book with so many errors, not just typing but medical information! For example, on page 94 she states aortic and pulmonic valves are semilunar valves and AV valves have 3 leaflets! After reading the other reviews here, I am to nervous about memorizing false information to continue studying from this book. The exam tips and study hints are very useful but overall not worth the money.

I stopped using this book shortly after I bought it. There were too many errors and too many inconsistencies when compared to other sources. I didn’t want to study and memorize incorrect information. Also, I found a lot of the material too dense and too specific to work well for review purposes – there are far better books out there.

I like this book due to the fact that it is to the point, summarizes everything so that you can understand things better and helps in critical thinking. Only thing that I wished this book had was more questions and answers and rationale for answers. Overall for the price I think this is the best book you can buy.

I found the beginning of the book helpful in offering test tips and ways to decipher a question, but I found myself increasingly frustrated with the review questions. There is a gross lack of information given. For example, a pregnant woman, 30 weeks gestation presents with a trace of leukocytes in her urine, 2+ protein, neg blood, positive weight gain 5 lbs. Answer is pre-eclampsia hypertension. There is no mention of the blood pressure. Pre-eclampsia is defined as a rise in SBP 30mmHg or more, 15mmHg in DBP (or > 140/90) and proteinuria, most often accompanied by pedal edema. I would find it hard to diagnose hypertension in the absence of elevated blood pressure.
While the answer can be derived, I would think there would be some mention of BP when diagnosing pre eclampsia hypertension.
