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.

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�

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.

This book is the benchmark of bad textbooks. I refuse to believe the text ever saw an editor before it went into print; the authors – especially McPhee himself – wouldn’t be able to recognize DIDACTICS if it came flying into his face; the text is extremely convulted written, confusing, unstructured, concepts are never connected, void of clarity, and in many instances just straight out wrong or self-contradictory; the book has no intention of actually conveying knowledge, instead it keeps digging into itself.
Also, do not believe the other reviewers who give this book 5 stars, they are not actual persons, but agencies paid by the publishers. Or, as I cannot actually attest to that, suffice to say anyone taking medical didactics seriously simply cannot reward this book 5 stars.
