Well if you answered yes to any of these questions, this book is for you.

At the end of each chapter, there are also clinical case studies that allows you to test yourself on what you have retained and understand from the reading. Overall, this is a good investment, whether if it is for the knowledge or just for fun. But, be aware this text is only understandable to those that have some knowledge in medicine.
