pharmacotherapy handbook 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

gives a detail summary of the book... a must have for all pharmacy students.

book is actually really helpful 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

much more concise than Depiro; it's like ESPN for therapeutics, all the best highlights... but if you have a very picky professor they might bring up something specific enough that it isn't included in this book.

nice book 4 out of 5 stars.

Great therapy book to have in your pocket, but doesn't discuss much on etiology of diseases. Basically it's good as a review, but it's not helpful if you are trying to learn the disease for the first time.

great book for any medical/pharmacy student 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book hoping that it would serve as a shorter version of the larger and more detailed textbook. It turned out to do just that. I have used this book on many occasions to review the key things about certain conditions without having to read the lengthy chapters of the textbook.....this is a must have for anyone in the medical field....it provides a concise summary and key points from the bigger version.

Editorial Review:

This convenient drug therapeutic handbook--a companion to the new "Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach, 6th Ed."--is organized by organ system and disease state, and condensed for easy information retrieval. It provides a bulleted format with tables, charts, and algorithms to help the user find the information they need quickly.

Get A Head Start 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Honestly, when I first starting looking at Orgo study aids, i looked at 'orgo for dummies..." upon reading the reviews for it, I saw someone wrote to check this book out...anyways the bottom line is that Organic Chemistry is hard...I started to read this book a few days before class as started...it really helped so far. It gives a basic understanding of things the professor expects you to figure out on your own. Some may say well why not read the text...the text did not help! A simply thing as being able to read or build a structure (first chapter) helps more than the text and the professor.

If you're serious about getting a good grade and understanding Orgo for the MCAT's or DAT or VCAT..anything of that sort this will help.

Editorial Review:

Organic chemistry may be challenging, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get the grade you want. This book points out the major principles in organic chemistry and explains why they are relevant to the rest of the course. It provides time-saving study tips and a clear roadmap for your studies that will help you focus your efforts. And it helps you develop the skills you need to solve a variety of problems types—even unfamiliar ones!

Great for College Students 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is great if you are a pre-professional health science major and need to learn the inner workings of Organic Chemistry. It gives you some insight before you take the class on how to succeed in studying in it, so you can make that "A" that your admissions board will be proud to see on your transcript. I highly recommend it.

Not a help 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book thinking it might be helpful over the course of my Orgo I class, however, this book turned out to be way tooooo Basic to be of any help at all. I also thought that the order and ways which the reactions and concepts were not done well at all. Poor coverage of electrophilic addition.

Editorial Review:

A plain-English guide to one of the toughest science courses around
Organic chemistry is rated among the most difficult courses that students take and is frequently the cause of washout among pre-med, medical, and nursing students. This book is an easy-to-understand and fun reference to this challenging subject. It explains the principles of organic chemistry in simple terms and includes worked-out problems to help readers get up to speed on the basics.

Terrific 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I've tried Dale Dubin on three different occasions and always gave up midway. This book is easy to read, keeps up your interest, doesn't clog you with unnecessary information, has a good summary at the end of every chapter, good clinical examples are provided and the best part is that it is quite funny. I actually laughed out aloud where he says wolff-parkinson-white and lown-ganong-levine aren't the names of lawfirms!
I managed to finish it in two weeks and it is refreshing to come across an ekg book that doesn't make you want to take extended break times!
Only thing is I wish the author had used more arrows to point out the specific abnormalities and that the last section of practice EKGS was a little more comprehensive.
But I think it is a good resource for residents and students. And I would pick it over Dale Dubin anyday.

Editorial Review:

Now in its updated Fourth Edition, this popular and practical text presents all the information the clinician needs to read EKGs efficiently and accurately. It is an ideal reference for medical students in ICM courses, house officers, or anyone directly involved in patient care, whether student, teacher, or practitioner. This edition includes new information on pacemakers, ischemic heart disease, and myocardial infarction treatment. The book features more than 200 facsimiles of EKG strips and numerous case studies and clinical examples. Also included is a pocket-sized review section that can be removed from the book and added to a pocket notebook.

Grant's Dissector 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This dissector is concise and to the point of what you need to dissect on the human body for gross anatomy. I also like it because it gives clinical correlations and describes areas of the body that might be obscure in understanding. It also refers you to plates in the leading human anatomy atlases for reference.

book's details helped me with lab and lecture 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I don;t know why this book has low scoring reviews because each time I used it before going into lab, i learned SO much. I learned many practical tips that were presented in a more interesting way than my class outline or other books. I thought it was really helpful in understanding the material in general and in prep for the lab specifically.

Editorial Review:

The Thirteenth edition of Grant's Dissector restores this renowned anatomy lab manual to its original purpose, which is to serve as a step-by-step manual for dissection procedures. This new edition features a more streamlined approach to cadaver dissection, focusing on more accurate, specific, and clear steps. The overall number of pages and figures has been reduced, reflecting a general trend toward fewer contact hours in the gross anatomy lab.

realistic 5 out of 5 stars.

although i agree that the kaplan q bank and usmle-world are invaluable resources for step one, i personally hate hate HATE to study on the computer. this book was a good solution. i found it true to the exam, and suited me and my need to have something physically in front of me to scribble on. solidly reviewing the questions in this book -- 2 or 3 times -- would be a good basis for taking step 1.

The best option... 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I feel that this is the best currently available option for ObGyn clerkship. Easy read and sufficient for passing mock boards - good luck!

Perfect! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is perfect for clinical rotations in OB/GYN. Although most blueprints are very helpful, this is my favorite out of the series because it gives you everything you need to know for your exams and clerkship, as well as helpful review questions in the end (like all blueprints). Very easy to read. I carried it with me throughout my rotation and excelled on the test.

Editorial Review:

More than just Board review for USMLE Steps 2 and 3, Blueprints can help you during clerkship rotations and subinternship. They are especially helpful when studying areas outside your specialty. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and osteopaths find Blueprints a helpful companion to their study materials as well. / Concise, accurate, clinical high-yield content covers all you need to know for the USMLE and rotations / Includes USMLE-style questions with full explanations provided in the answers / Updated with the help of residents to maintain a student-to-student approach / Key Points in every section highlight the most important, high-yield information for each topic / Color-enhanced design increases the usefulness of figures and tables

For Physicians and Patients Alike... 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I believe this is a must read book for doctors and patients alike. While not cozy and comforting, it presents the facts in a wholly acceptable and honest manner.

I read this after both of my parents passed away from cancer 10 months apart in an attempt to make some sense of what they endured both mentally and medically. This book provided the answers and a great measure of righteous anger at the attending physicians and their attitudes that somehow they could cure the uncureable right up until the very last moment, depriving everyone of the necessary time to say the things that needed to be said.

This book will tell you that you, as the patient, must seek the truth about your illness as it isn't always handed to you by your physician. For the physician, it teaches how to tell the truth without destroying the time left to terminal patients.

Editorial Review:

Attempting to demythologize the process of dying, Nuland explores how we shall die, each of us in a way that will be unique. Through particular stories of dying--of patients, and of his own family--he examines the seven most common roads to death: old age, cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's, accidents, heart disease, and strokes, revealing the facets of death's multiplicity.

"It's impossible to read How We Die without realizing how earnestly we have avoided this most unavoidable of subjects, how we have protected ourselves by building a cultural wall of myths and lies. I don't know of any writer or scientist who has shown us the face of death as clearly, honestly and compassionately as Sherwin Nuland does here."--James Gleick
