Do not be put off by this book's mammoth size. Yes, it is very large but that's because for every system it explains the physiological principles, the adult pathologies of that system, and then the pediatric ones. It is the only pathological physiology book that covers all the material that I need to know for my pathophys classes (trust me, I tried a number of the other ones available and they are nowhere near as good) and it also helps me when studying for pathology.
It really is a shame that I can't access it on my iPad, so if I have to travel I'll be spending additional time quickly photographing all the pages I want to get through during my trip. Other than that, I love it!
Since I began Paramedic school last fall (in 2017), I have supplemented the required material in my medic textbook, with corresponding chapters in this book. It has helped tremendously, on so many levels. My Paramedic program barely scratches the surface of pathophysiology, and we are not even going to cover the pathophysiology chapter in the medic textbook...which is a crying shame. Paramedics are clinicians in the field, and we do diagnose, contrary to popular belief. I cannot stress how having this book on hand, has allowed me to garner a deeper understanding of pathophysiology.
My only complaint about the textbook, would be the placement of some of the chapters. That's about it.
If you are a Paramedic, a medic student (even an EMT student), or instructor, buy this book!
