5.0 out of 5 stars I love, love, love this book and CD!!!, April 5, 2003

By	Clayton Johnson (Bonita, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple (3rd Edition; Book & CD-ROM) (Paperback)

Before this book I always had a hard time with Neuro. I just got by when I took the class and I did below average on the subject on step one. Before I took a rotation in Neuro I read this book and it changed everything for me. Now I love to get neuro questions and I'm much more secure about patients with neuro presentations. Although it does not provide the detail as you would get from a comprehensive book, it makes the basics and the most common problems very clear. The CD is helpful and fun! It should be used along with the book; not just at the end. The CD has many pictures (gross and drawings) that help to visualize the neuro layout of the CNS. The great thing about this book is that you can read and understand it in a couple days if you're motivated.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Great Book, December 13, 1999

By A Customer

Without question, this is one of the best books ever written for medical students or anyone else struggling through neurosciences. It miraculously removes the tedious details of this important topic and instead focuses on clinically relevant information in an effort to maximize understanding and minimize memorization. Despite the somewhat simplistic treatment of an otherwise complicated topic, the reader will finish this book with a complete working understanding of neuroanatomy, including a detailed and intimate knowledge of the spinal cord and brainstem. Really, there is no better book... and as a physician now I have returned to read it several more times since graduating from med school. If you don't have it... get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank heaven for this book, June 28, 2002

This review is from: Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple (MedMaster Series, 2000 Edition) (Paperback)

In my graduate Neuropsychology course, we were expected to already be familiar with brain anatomy. I wasn't. This book gave me a wonderful quick review and served as a reference through the rest of the course when I needed clarification on the location or purpose of a given structure. It is so well written in an easy-to-read style that it deserves a Pulitzer.
