1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing!, December 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: BRS Pathology Flash Cards (Misc. Supplies)

The accompanying pathology review book in the BRS series is excellent, as is generally the case for all of the books in the series, so I had high hopes for the flash cards (which are NOT prepared by the same authors as the pathology book). Unfortunately, the content of the flash cards is very minimal and superficial. As a result, I anticipate that almost no one will find the flash cards to be of much use, which is unfortunate since the concept of pathology flash cards seems to be a good one. Oh well ...

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor effort, January 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: BRS Pathology Flash Cards (Misc. Supplies)

These cards are essentially worthless. If you are expecting to learn anything from them, be prepared to be disappointed. They look like someone went through a medical dictionary and put words on one side and the definitions on the other, which I suspect is what happened. Only very marginally useful as a quick review of material you already know. Very low yield, and unfortunate, as they had so much potential.

4.0 out of 5 stars The KEYWORDS for pathology, March 26, 2004

By 

Eric J "Eric J" (Spring Hill, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: BRS Pathology Flash Cards (Misc. Supplies)

While the flashcards really have minimal material on them, they do contain the ever-useful "key words" for pathology. I have found that knowing the disease process of pathological diseases is helpful, but when it comes to test time, it's those key words and phrases in the stem of the question that are supposed to "give the answer away". These cards contain those key phrases that help you quickly associate s/s with a dx.
