Excellent book: Sharp, clear, and easy to read. One of these books that do not last on the shelf because there is always someone reading it in the family or among your friends. read full review | report as inappropriate
The book starts out quite interesting and has a topic that many can relate to--what happens when doctors are wrong? Unfortunately, the entire book seems to say on the topic of telling stories about doctors making mistakes. Half the size of the... read full review | report as inappropriate
Groopman brings a refreshing account concerning the cognition abilities of physicians and its residual affects upon their patient interactions. He conveys that physicians inadvertently rely upon their initial professional socialization processes... read full review | report as inappropriate

This book is a must have for any serious medical student. It helps guide and focus your study of pathology to what is relevant to the USMLE. Practicing these questions really underscored the key points of each Robbins chapter. In addition, the... read full review | report as inappropriate
It's a thorough text but really, if you want to learn the stuff, get Goljan's Rapid Review Path. I learned more from it then this text. read full review | report as inappropriate

I didn't have any contact with medicine before college and was in desperate need for good information. This is a great resource. read full review | report as inappropriate
The problem with this book and those similar to it is that these books reinforce the idea of how wonderful it will be to become a physician. Here is all you need to know: After four years of grinding out top grades in classes like organic... read full review | report as inappropriate

It is a very good book very well detailed and specific. However, it is a bit overwhelming if there are other thick books assigned in the course. Since this is one of 2 other books we have to read for Psychopathology (course for Social Work... read full review | report as inappropriate
Some people swear by this book; I don't get it. It's a pain to either read or to use as a reference The layout of this book is busier than that of an undergraduate textbook. For no apparent reason, brain images are slapped into sections of some... read full review | report as inappropriate

I used this book as well as several others (i'm guilty of buying TOO many books...)! This book very much helped me with the detail I needed to do very well in areas I didn't remember from Medical School. As a Pediatrics Resident, I highly... read full review | report as inappropriate
Difficult to follow. Missing alot of important areas. Shallow coverage. Too many pages. Recommend you buy instead: Strong Medicine for Step 3 by Joseph R. DiCostanzo, $29.95; 266 pages, Mosby-Year Book ISBN: 1560536314. read full review | report as inappropriate
I bought this product and I regret it. First Aid for Step 2 ck would have done a better job. This book lacks too much detail to be the only referral. read full review | report as inappropriate

A must have. Really important and understandable facts in the light of USMLE. I'm reading some other books on this subject too, and I have inferred that this one is very good. read full review | report as inappropriate
I have used many of the BRS books for class (the physio one is great!), but this one I found to be confusing and disorganized. It was not pertinent to the material covered on the USMLE or in microbio. I would probably recommend finding another... read full review | report as inappropriate
I felt that this was a good book to use for board review purposes. The outline format, like all the BRS books, is easy to follow and makes it easy to look up info. The end of chapter questions are the best part by allowing you to see if you... read full review | report as inappropriate

This book has very good text. It really highlights are important concepts without going into too much detail. In medical school this is important because you don't want minor details to keep you from getting the main idea. The questions are... read full review | report as inappropriate
The questions on this book are not consistant with questions on NBME shelf exams. I used this book to study, consistantly scored very well on the end of chapter and the comprehensive eams in the book, yet I was dumbfounded by the questions on the... read full review | report as inappropriate
The material this goes through is great, concise, displayed well, properly bolded, and with good diagrams. However, the questions and answers/explanations are full of errors. I've done over a third of the questions in the book and I've come... read full review | report as inappropriate

Excellent source for NCLEX review!! Contains thousands of questions encompassing every area. The CD, which comes with the text, is awesome if you're the type of person who likes to study using the computer. Only drawback is the questions in the... read full review | report as inappropriate
1. No index. 2. CD doesn't work in Vista (in any compatibility mode / admin priv) I suppose I could go out and spend another $50 bucks on their 2008 edition, but screw it. I found Exam Cram software to work fine, Kaplan to work... read full review |
