Yorumlar:

Yorum 1:

This book was fairly useless. Many of the chapters are seeming exercises in verbal diarrhea - they discuss things that you will NEVER see on Step III in pages of mind-numbing detail. For example, there is a discussion on facioscapulohumeral dystropy, including its genetic location (4q35), it's epidemiology (1:200,000), and it's penetrance. Or the fact that emetine and metronidazole cause toxic myopathy in the setting of cardiomyopathy. Or the 1-page discussion on how to place a chest tube, including how long each incision should be (2-3 cm). Or "the sex-specific cutoffs of waist circumference identifying increased relative risk for the development of obesity-related risk factors in adults with a BMI of 24-34.9 kg/m2". In short, these are not review questions. The authors who contributed to the book thought they were writing short chapters in a specialty book for sub-specialists and the editor did not correct this misunderstanding. There were also a handful of mistakes that I noted, but nothing horribly blatant.

Buyer beware. This book fails in its stated purpose.

Yorum 2:

I have bought this book immediately after it was published and I didnot have a chance to see others opinions about this book. I do understand that writing a book is a very difficult task, but misnaming and misdirecting it is unpardonable. This book is good for its knowledge base, but I found it not so useful for Step 3 of USMLE.
