4.0 out of 5 stars Blueprints in Neurology, September 14, 2005

By	D. Saunders - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As like most titles in the Blueprints series, Blueprints in Neurology is a quick, easy read. A lot of information can be covered in a short period of time; good for cramming the last week or two before an exam. However, it is incomplete and covers certain subject areas sparsely. May want to supplement with another source.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book.., September 5, 2004

By	medstudent25 "medstudent25" (the South) - See all my reviews

This is a good book that will help you do well on the Neuro Shelf/Mini-Board exam for 3rd or 4th year rotations. It is also helpful for Step II, with strong sections on stroke, epilepsy, autoimmune disorders, and headache. It's not something to be read in one day, but it can be done by the time the rotation ends. With this info in hand, you should do well.
