Medicine at a Glance

This book is excellent for understanding the details of disease processes and presenting symptoms. This book explains the differences between diseases and how they present and why they present in certain ways. It does take time to read through the book, but if you do, you won't forget what you read. This is an excellent reference book if you are studying for the step 2CK and you need a better understanding of a disease process. I highly recommend this book. The illustrations are great also!

I'm a 6th year medical student finishing my final exams. I've found this a great reference when I need to review the basics of specific medical diseases fast while reading larger texts. Great for it's intended purpose. Just don't try to use this as your only textbook.
