Rating:  - More Mosby garbage
Mosby published books never fail to disappoint. This book is unorganized, inaccurate, and poorly worded just like a typical Mosby book. There is no point in updating with new editions, this book is hopeless and the world would be a better place if it was taken off the market. In fact, I will celebrate the day Mosby publishing company goes out of business. I have been tortured with their heinous nursing books for far too long. I am an online student and have read fantastic textbooks, this is NOT one ... Read More
Rating: - Utter disappointment!
I'm a practicing RN for the last 13 years. This book is req'd in my APRN patho class. I must say that all 40+ students hate this book. We have found MULTIPLE mistakes. Prime example: on pg. 363 the book is describing a scissor gait. It states, "The legs are abducted so they touch each other." This is just one of many outright mistakes the book makes. Also, the tests and quizzes provided to instructors have many blatant errors in the answer key (ie-the "correct" answer in the answer key is not necessarily ... Read More

The book is extremely useful for first year medicine, dentistry or nursery students. Specially the first 4 chapters. It might require a better organization , the way the topics were posted but the objectives are covered at the end. besides, the questionnaries are relevant to the topics.
Rating: - Review from an instructors point of view
I have now used this text for part of 1 semester and must say it is the most frustrating text I have ever used. It looks great when you skim through it but not when you really "dig in".The book has numerous errors (hopefully some of these have been corrected in the new edition). I am tired of telling students that the arrow in figure X should go the other way, or that hypoaldosteronism should read hyperaldosteronism---etc. Even more frustrating than the mistakes is the lack of adequate explanation of the numerous ...

Rating: - Midunderstanding Pathophysiology
I got an A in physiology, so its not just me. This book is poorly written. My pharmacology book explains pathophysiology better than this book. If you find out your teacher is using this book, beg them to use a different one.
