Best Pharmacology Book (un)available,
By Seejay "cjcjcjcj" (Earth, superficially) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Phunny Pharm: The Ultimate Pharmacology Study (Paperback)
My friends studied for weeks, while I studied for days, learning the way my brain likes to learn - using images and stories which connect the drugs to their actions. I would not be passing this class without this book!
Here's an example: Two bears named Nick and Nicky (both are NICotinic receptors) live in the Phunny Pharm Phorest. The forest is a metaphor for the Autonomic Nervous System. Nicky has three musketeer cubs (MUSCarinic receptors) to whom she must feed various kinds of fish (eg piloCARPine). The actions of the bears are responses of the PNS (eg, miosis). If you need all five receptors 'cuz you're an overacheiver, you can imagine 2 more cubs. I did just fine with the three in the book. If you have more drugs on your list to memorize, you can imagine new kinds of fish. This book removes a lot of the pain of rote memorization, and is actually fun to read. Imagine that! A FUN Pharm book! Although a few drugs are not included in the Phunny Pharm, the presentation is such that you can easily connect anything new to the scenarios given. Do not hesitate to buy this book if your learning style demands interconnections and the use of a thought process. It's not a stand-alone resource. Katzung's a nice resource book if you need more info.

Life on the Pharm...,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Phunny Pharm: The Ultimate Pharmacology Study (Paperback)
The Phunny Pharm provides an alternative to the rote pharmacologic memorization that medical students face. By introducing you to a world where penicillins are in a baseball game, and cardiac phys is a train ride, you have a "story" to help keep the hundreds of drugs straight in your mind. Some of the tales require a real stretch of the imagination, perhaps more than it's worth. Overall, several of my classmates found it worthwhile, especially for the antibiotics. Some of the bizarre little stories are just weird enough to remember in the 4th hour of your pharm final...

A Concise Clever Review of Pharmacology,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Phunny Pharm: The Ultimate Pharmacology Study (Paperback)
This review book was excellent in that it used a lot of clever pneumonics and pictures to help memorize a subject that's all about rote memorization...With this book I rocked my boards on pharm!!! 2nd year med student.
