3.0 out of 5 stars Too skimpy, Feb 14 2007

By Dr. D - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Pathophysiology of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Medicine, Fifth Edition (Paperback)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good info, just hard to find., Sep 18 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

It is hard to locate topics and information in this format. I would pay extra for an easier content locator. The content is complete and informational though. Its an okay purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lacks structure, lacks editing, lacks everything., April 25 2008

By JMTG "Tigerkr�ke" - Published on Amazon.com

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.
