Ok overview of Medical Physioogy / / 2010-07-22
This book provides an ok overview of Medical Physiology. Do not expect the most up to date information in this edition nor good coverage on all subjects.

Required / / 2009-10-06
Great customer service from the creaters of the textbook. I scratched the code to hard and I was not able to read the online access information. However, I was able to call customer service at 6AM on Sunday morning and they were able to solve the problem. Text is very dense. I would recommend the pocket companion and the guyton and hall physiology review book for practice problems.

failed refund / / 2009-06-08
i attempted to contact the seller via email to return the book because although i was told i needed it the book for class i actually did not. The seller has yet to respond. so i have a book i cannot use and paid $70+ for it. The condition of the book was good, i have no complaints about that.

Title should be: Concepts Made Complicated / / 2009-03-04
Ok everyone raves about this book. It is true that this book covers everything you need to know. However, the trick is not to get lost in their ridiculously long explanations that are repeated over and over and over each chapter. Seriously, this book could be condensed to half the size. Further, they mention a couple sentences about a concept and then quit and say "more on this to come later". They probably do that about a thousand times. Truthfully, i just got annoyed by reading the book. It is obnoxious and everything, from their graphs to their flow charts, is made to sound more complicated that it has to be and is encoded in erroneous/needless fluff. Medical students do not have much time, THAT IS TO SAY time is valuable, WHICH MEANS there is not much of it, SO YOU COULD CONCLUDE you should use time efficiently AND THIS MEANS... - if you found the previous sentence pointless and annoying, go with something else, perhaps BRS!
