This review is from: Obstetrics Illustrated, 5e (Paperback)

This book is the least helpful OB text I've ever read. It is limited on info, silent on treatments, and out-of-date. Lots of good drawings, but save your cash, and your time.

This review is from: Obstetrics Illustrated, 7e (Hanretty, Obstetrics Illustrated) (Paperback)

I am not sure who this book is written for.

If I were a medical or nursing student it would be too simple with not enough information and as a layperson it assumes I know a lot of medical words when in reality I would need a medical dictionary just to get through it.
