I have been using this book for 3 years. I open this great book whenever I want to "watch a movie" showing clear mechanisms of diseases! It's full of black-and-white illustrations and flow-charts which quickly stick in your mind. Believe me, it makes your life simple and easy! What are you waiting for? Go and buy it now!

Its generally believed by some that Medicine is a vast and boring subject.....but this book proves atleast pathology is not .....This is the best book of pathology i have ever seen ....i have gone through 12 pathology books of my friends and finally selected this one......a must book for a casual minded medical student who is not the most serious studenyt of his medical school!!!!!!
