A MUST HAVE for any Med/Nurse/PA studentby Anonymous

February 10, 2009: As any other student in a medical program, I am a bust person. For me, this book was a much loved, dog-eared & adored must have. I can never understand the need for a 3,000 page required text for one class, or a series of a few lectures, that you'll never have the time to read all of anyway--never mind carry out of your house! This was an excellent book. It's succinct, organized & portable. You'll never need to highlight either because all of the "fluff" has been eliminated. I did very well in this course because of this book. However, if you are the kind of person that needs a lot of pictures to describe concepts and a lot of the "fluff", then this book is not for you--sorry, but YEAH for those of us that like the short and sweet version!

February 15, 2008: This book is incredibly concise and readable. I use it as a companion for the textbook we use in class which is not concise and is very complex 'which makes it a cool course'. If you are also in a Human Physiology course for pre-med, pre-nursing and want to enhance your class notes or prepare for either a multiple choice test or like me, multiple essay exams, buy this book. In a recent exam, I was one of the only two students who earned an 'A', the other student who also did so used this book on my advice. You will not be disappointed.
