 Great book, just use other sources too. November 4, 2008
I study medicine at Oxford, and this book is basically the bible for the entire year. Use it constantly for every essay and piece of work we're given: It was written in part by a tutor here, and I basically couldn't live without it.
However, be careful: even the most recent edition does have several mistakes (which you'd have to be incredibly anal to pick up on, but they are blatantly wrong). Make sure you use some other sources and your common sense, or else face the terrifying probability of believing that fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is an allosteric activator of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. A hideous concept, I know, but you have been warned.
In spite of this, I can't imagine any medical student being able to cope without a copy - it has pretty much everything you need to know in a concise format. Terrible index, but you can glean some interesting facts whilst searching through the six different page references for the one which is actually about epithelial function.

I dip into this book often and it ever fails to impress me with the depth of information and its straightforward no nonsense style that is lacking in the big books. Full marks !
 Good for umsle step1 review April 29, 2007

This book may be useful to those studying for the usmle step1. It covers the basic sciences relatively well and it can by used as supplement to more usmlelish editions as contains and low-yields facts.

When faced by the enormous volume of information available today the medical student and junior doctor may struggle to know where to start. This excellent handbook provides a wide ranging synoptic review of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology and pharmacology, organised by organ systems. The key information can be found in this book either when starting to learn a topic, when revising for exams or when faced by clinical problems. The chapters are well organised and supported by a comprehensive index. Well recommended.
