2.0 out of 5 stars not a real study guide, November 1, 2005

This review is from: Review Manual to Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods, 20e (Paperback)

I had completely misunderstood how this book was written and laid out. I had thought that it would be a companion to Henry's, with more explanations, case studies, outlines and exam questions. But in fact it has none (or exceedingly little) of those things. 434 of its 467 pages are blank questions with the page numbers from Henry written in so you can look up the answer and write it into the space provided. In my coursework, I've already written and organized hundreds of index cards, outlining the chapters of Henry. This book adds nothing extra to my understanding.
The three appendices at the end are interesting...path questions based on slides, smears, parasites. Math review questions and one comprehensive practice exam. But that's far too small a section for me to spend $52 on.

This book is good for anyone who wants to pay an outrageous sum for what amounts to a very fancy and flashy notebook.

This review is from: Review Manual to Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods, 20e (Paperback)

The Review Manual to the 20th Edition of Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods is a good review of the book. It does, however, like most books have problems that may be addressed in future editions.

The biggest problem is that Clinical pathology boards usually get most of the questions from Henry's or Robbins pathology books with a multiple choice type format. The only problem with this book is that it has fill in the blank type questions which are more difficult and doesnt offer a differential in which to think about. That is the weakness of the book in that the explanations are not involved and their is no differential thinking that you would have with multiple choices. For example why is the answer B and not A with explanations.

The book does cover Henry's which in of itself is a feat. Henry's is difficult to read and much of the technical jargon is not explained so the Q&A book reflects some of these shortcomings.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good review for the CP boards!, February 21, 2009

This review is from: Review Manual to Henry's Clinical Diagnosis & Management by Laboratory Methods, 21e (Schexneider, Review Manual to Henry's Clinical Diagnosis of) (Paperback)

The biggest problem in this review book is that most of the Qs are fill in the blanks Q format, which is completely different than the Q format in your CP boards, and even they are harder the MCQs.
The second problem is that the explanation on these Qs are not adequate at all in my opinion.
I do not recommend buying this book, save your your book for something else.
