Summary: Forget it, get the Robbins book.
Comment: This was the required textbook for my undergrad patho class. I agree with previous reviewers in regard to the lack of detail and organization. It is a book written mostly by RNs for nursing students and is not very well suited for anyone else.

There really is no reason anyone should buy this book. Clearly the Robbins book is the leader in the field of clinical pathophys. Medical and other students with more than a passing interest should head immediately toward that text. If Robbins is to expensive/intimidating, there must be a more concise and better organized book than this one.

Also, this book is just too damn big. It's unnecessary.

Summary: Excellent Patho Book
Comment: Excellent pathophysiology book for the nursing student or experienced clinician. Evreything is in here with plenty of pictures and tables. Great organization.

Summary: It weighs 10kg, yet nothing useful inside.
Comment: If you're a medical student, DON'T BUY THIS BOOK !!

I was so unlucky to get this book recommended for my pathophysiology studies, but clearly this book is for nurses or the average taxi-driver who want an easy introduction to the topic. There are a few lines about everything, so you won't understand anything and won't remember anything. This despite it's the bulkiest book I have! I can't even have it in my bookshelf, so now I use it as a stand for my bedroom alarm clock!

Going from studying a good physiology book to reading pathophysiology like this is a waste of time. Pathophysiology can't be explained by a few lines of text and reviewing clinical symptoms! For medical students used to study things in-depth this book would be a step back.

If I could sell it I would, but the shipping costs would double the prize of the book, and I would have to lie better then a Kirby-salesman to convince the buyer.

My advice: Stay away from this one. (Even if you're a nurse student.)
