4.0 out of 5 stars great book, October 28, 2006

chopstick1 (bradenton FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: First Aid Cases for the USMLE Step 1 (First Aid Series) (Paperback)

cases are informational and board style. follows the step 1 book. the step one book, cuts out the [...] and tells you what's needed for the boards. great outline. some of the topics are a little thin. has color histo atlas and websites for more general info. I think the book would be better if it had more cases but overall, the combo is a good buy!

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many mistakes, subpar to UCV, January 10, 2008

Dimasin (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: First Aid Cases for the USMLE Step 1 (First Aid Series) (Paperback)

I bought this book after I read all 8 UCV (Undeground Clinical Vignettes) from the same authors. I was able to compare them. Obviously it has fewer cases, most of them are identical. FA team rushed this book in production and as a result there are lots of mistakes and really inconvinient layout. My only recommendation is to buy a cheaper previous edition of UCV books (ISBN 0632045590).

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Get the BOOK!!! Yes That Good, January 15, 2007

Waiting In Anguish (Miami, Fl) - See all my reviews

This review is from: First Aid Cases for the USMLE Step 1 (First Aid Series) (Paperback)

Just Get the BOOK!!! Yes That Good!!! It helps you think about every aspect of a concept. Example, path & Physio of what's going on with the patient. It brings important concepts in medicine in extremely valid cases which are written "like" the NBME questions. I would rec this book 100% worth every penny!!!
