I purchased this book to study for a CLEP-type exam and found it to be an excellent reference not only for my studies, but also for general research and review of various diseases that I encounter in my job. When we have a critically ill patient, I now turn to this text to help understand exactly what is going on. I feel that the book is very well organized and includes several subjects not always encountered in this subject, such as behavioral disorders. I strongly recommend this book for all who are interested in learning about the wide world of diseases and for those who may need an occassional review.

We used this book in patho in my nursing program.

Wonderfully arranged. Easy to read. A little long but that's patho for you. ;)

I bought this book recently and opened it, full of enthusiasm, ready to read. However I found that it's more a pathology than pathophysiology book. It tries to mix the two subjects and as a result it does not cover sufficiently either of the two. It is nicely organized though and may be good for other health sciences, but NOT for medical students!
Many of its pictures are "borrowed" from Robbin's Basic Pathology 7th ed. by Kumar, Cotran et al.

The book, its study guide and the cd make to study the material so easy.

This book has great content, but uses words and terms without defining making it very hard to follow.
