2.0 out of 5 stars Sersiouly, this just isn't OK., May 28, 2009
This review is from: First Aid for the Basic Sciences, Organ Systems (First Aid Series) (Paperback)
I really don't understand how a book could be produced with this many mistakes. To be fair, I'm not sure if I've ever had the first edition of a text/review book before, but this thing is rife with glaring errors. And here's the bad news: I'm really, really not that great a med student. So if I'm seeing THESE mistakes, what else is there to be found?

I get that one or two mistakes are going to get through, especially in a fact-heavy volume like this. But there's some pretty serious conceptual screw-ups here, too. You've been warned...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Review book -- all med students should have this!, November 4, 2009

This review is from: First Aid for the Basic Sciences, Organ Systems (First Aid Series) (Paperback)
I have my fair share of review books -- First Aid USMLE 2009, the entire BRS series, Goljan's Rapid Review Path, etc -- but if i had to choose 1 book to use, I would pick First Aid: Organ Systems. I was never a big fan of the format of the first aid books; however, organ systems is written in paragraph form, rather than outline form. It's easy to follow and a great book to use along with regular course work. The margins are nice and wide which allows for annotation. Yes, it's true there are some errors, but there is a correction list published on the First Aid website (its 3 pages long, and most of the corrections are grammatical errors -- it took me an hour to make all the corrections in the book). I personally think all medical students should invest in this review book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good comprehensive Review, March 9, 2010
This review is from: First Aid for the Basic Sciences, Organ Systems (First Aid Series) (Paperback)
I used this book along with my organ systems themed pathology course to get a good review of the anatomy, embryology, physiology and pharmacology involved with that specific organ system. The book has errors in it, but nothing overly major, and the errata includes most of them. Additionally, it helped me to read more critically, and conscientiously, paying attention to what I was reading (You can submit the errors for a potential gift card). I liked that it was more text and explanation, and filled in many of the holes left out in first aid for step 1. Overall, it was a great review resource that I would use again.
