Summary: Too confusing for begginers,excellent if you know the basics
Comment: I have bought 4 physiology books during my medical studies and i am only a second year student! And i must say, that this book is definetely the best one, if you have the basic knowledge. If you are a new begginer though, it is very very difficult to start with this book, since the explanations are very detailed and require a certain level of 'scientific way of thinking'. There are many research examples and historical links, something that a student prepearing for an exam doesn't want to waste time on. Some of the explanations are too long and complicated, that one looses the initial idea of what the explanation was about.
On the other hand, if you are quite skilfull in physiology, this is a great book. The pictures are extraordinary and very scematic and understandable!!! You definetely get a lot for your money!
So, in conclusion, if you buy yourself a simpler physiology book and get the basics from there, Medical Physiology is the perfect choise to go on expanding your knowledge with. But don't buy it as your very very first physiology book. It will just confuse and frustrate you.

Summary: The best and most comprehensive physiology text
Comment: No question this is the best physiology text going. Thorough, detailed, but has plenty of summary sections to keep everything organized. Very biophysical in sections, which I suspect many med students won't like, but everything's here you'll need. The sole (minor) problem is that the jpeg files on the CDRom are rather low resolution which makes them look fuzzy in a Powerpoint presentation. Otherwise, superb.

Summary: This new medical physiology text is incredible.
Comment: Anyone who takes even one cursory look at this new textbook by Boron and Boulpaep will be stupified by its comprehensiveness and its beauty. The figures are the best that I have seen in a single volume, and the explanations (the text, that is) will take the new graduate or medical student on a fantastic initial tour of the body and how it works. For the more advanced student and even for those of us with PhDs in physiology, the text has information that will enhance your knowledge on a daily basis.
I have been teaching from Ganong and Guyton, while supplementing my material from excellent books by Levick (Cardiovascular Physiology), but this book is a gift because it has it all. No more complaining about Guyton, and no more listening to students' complaints about Ganong. This is THE book to have for your course. I would recommend, however, that if you are teaching basic sciences for USMLE step I, a "simplified" book like Costanzo's Physiology (her textbook, NOT the BRS) is a nice addition to the course.
The biophysical aspects of physiology, of course, are too much for the medical student. But as a teaching tool, the background biophysics are a must. Regarding the images, yes, the jpgs on the CD (not included with the book) are low resolution but this is easily solved by opening the pdfs on the CD (in other words, there are pdfs and jpgs) in Photoshop and saving them as jpgs (Save file for Web...), which renders these images most useful for PowerPoint presentations.
Bottom line: this book is great. Let your students reap the benefits.
