This review is from: Netter's Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Women's Health (Paperback)

Wow! Finally a book that contains the text I need with the magical illustrations of Frank Netter. Any medical student or practicing physician will know what I mean when I say Netter's art is without peer. I've been searching for a quick-reference book in this field and now I've found it. The writing and format are precise (no wasted words here!) and the illustrations really bring it to life. I've used a few of the 5-Minute Consult books but they don't compare to this. I hope there are more Netter books in the pipeline. . .
