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

By A Customer

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

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 Great for learning the subtle (but important) points.., April 15, 2004

By	Arvind Yekanath "arvindyekanath" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

I loved these flashcards and they helped me tremendously in learning pathology. It is important to understand that these cards are NOT intended to be a complete review of pathology, which I suspect may be why the other posters were unhappy with them. These cards are NOT meant to be a substitute for more substantial review books (like BRS Pathology) but more to help students pick out the deceivingly subtle but very important "factoids" that would be otherwise difficult to concentrate on by simply reading a pathology textbook, or even BRS Path. The cards are grouped by organ systems (Heart, Blood Vessels, Lung, Kidney, Skin, CNS, etc).
