A keeper

As a Physician Assistant student, I'm overwhelmed with many other poorly written books. I keep refering to this book to make sense of the many other subjects (such as labs and diseases) that I'm grappling with. This book does not "dumb down" the material, but rather presents it as it should be presented, thorough but to-the-point. I'm very impressed with this book and it's authors.

The book on Pathophysiology

"Essentials of Pathophysiology; Concepts and Applications for Health Care Professionals" is a very detailed and informative book. The authors of this book did an excellent job of explaining the pathophysiology of all major organ systems as well as what occurs in the body during disease processes. This book has excellent pictoral charts illustrating the exact mechanisms in which our body works. This book is a very quick read, and is very understandable. In comparison to other pathophysiology books I have looked at, this one seems the most inderstandable by far (due to the many different ways in which the authors try to get their point across to the reader). I would strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about Pathophysiology.
