HEAVY text and worth every ounce / / 2009-12-15
I bought a cheap older patho book last summer to brush up on patho - got this text in the fall when classes started. This text is miles ahead of the other and was extremely helpful in understanding detail in depth to fill in the blanks from lecture. I was thinking recently, that I would look up and and read in this text every condition I encounter in practice for a long while to put things in context. This text is so great I think this exercise will make me a much better NP.

Only thing that would improve this text would be handheld version!

Best Path Book Ever!! / / 2009-11-22
In my opinion this is one of the best Pathology books out there in the market. It contains a vast amount of information on pathological diseases and their origin affecting our world today. I highly recommend this book as a reference and a guide to understanding medical phenomena and break throughs for anyone interested in the medical field.

great book! / / 2009-11-14
I absolutely LOVE this book! I know some people are intimidated by the sheer size/thickness of it, but it really is an excellently written book. Detailed yes, but very easy to read. If you're still scared of the text, the pictures alone are reason enough to buy it. Waaaay better than any pathology board review book in my opinion.

Great Textbook / / 2009-09-15
I am always impressed when I open this book to look up something. The entries have great text descriptions, and the accompanying pictures are spot-on. I highly recommend that you add this book to your medical library, especially if you are a first year medical student since it will be a great reference while trying to learn everything the first time.
