5.0 out of 5 stars blueprints in medicine (blue prints series), March 31, 2000
This review is from: Blueprints in Medicine (Paperback)
The best thing i liked about this book is its clear, concise presentation of a complex subject. It is an excellent review book with outstanding presentation.what it is not is - it is'nt a comprehensive book for medicine but it covers all the common and high yield topics in internal medicine.Deals on the basis of symptomatology and diseases, a problem oriented approach which is very useful for usmle step2 and 3. The discussions deal with the disease, the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis and the diagnostic evaluation and treatment, all this in a very readable 3-4 pages with a summary of the keypoints at the end.The diagnostic evaluation and treatment part is very thorough.A must for anyone preparing for usmle step2 and 3. I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise and to the point, April 24, 2000
This review is from: Blueprints in Medicine (Paperback)
A good ,comprehensive book for step-2 preparation may not cover all the topics but since Internal Medicine is so vast a topic only a book like Harrison can do justice.But then who has time to read Harrison? This is the next best alternative

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review for wards and Step 2, January 22, 2001
By briw "briw" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blueprints in Medicine (Paperback)
This book helped me rock Step 2. It may be inappropriate for Step 3, but for Step 2 it's very good. If you want concise review of relevant, high-yield topics in internal medicine, look no further. Helps for 3rd year rotations too.
