Students love this new book:
What I like about the cases is that they combine different aspects of diseases students are responsible for on the boards. Some of these are absolutely fabulous in terms of completeness, depth, and explanations.

I thought the cases were really well written and comprehensive, thoroughly covering the disease from many aspects such as pathology, physiology, histology etc. Ideally, the student would but this book at the beginning of the year and read it as he progresses through the year.
