Excellent information, a very detailed book.

This is the first book that I read about the inside of medical school. And I think that I don't need to read another one. The information that it has amazes me, from the very beginning till the end of whole medical school education; it is truly a well-done book. It gives me the inside look way ahead of my medical career. On the other hand, it has some shortcomings. It has some minor grammatical or word programs; such as they confused "effecting" with "affecting." And something else, which I already forgot.Also when it talked about the history of medicine, it only concentrated on the western world. It mentioned something about Egyptian medicine, etc. It did not talk about anything about the Asian medicine, as we all know, the Chinese have been practicing their kind of medicine many many years ago. At last, it talked about the German scientists used humans for live experiments. I suppose that that is what the western students have been educated about. The authors did not say anything about the evil Japanese "scientists" who used Chinese to do their grueling live in-human experiments. I think that they should definitely include that in the book.Also, they should use a bigger font. I am a young man, but even
