This review is from: Atlas of Pathophysiology (Hardcover)

This is a fantastic reference for any medical student. Including nursing students. The pictures are great! I only wish I had found it my furst semester of nursing school. This book helps in explaining the why and the how of a disease. The book is broken down into each system of the body. Easy to read and very helpful. This would make a great gift for anyone who will be attending medical school.

I LOVE this book. Just as the first reviewer, I WISH I had had this book from Semester One of my college career. Beautiful, clear illustrations. Organized, easy to understand text. I'm thrilled to have this book. It's a 'Keeper.'

I used this book in Nursing School, and found it very helpful. When I couldn't really understand the patho of a certain disease I would turn to this book. The pictures and explanations are very straight forward and helped greatly.
