I was surprised at the number of mistakes in the book. For example, the wrist diagram (and text) mislabeled the scaphoid bone as the navicular bone. Now this may seem like a small mistake, but the scaphoid is the bone most often broke in the wrist. Just try telling your attending that you patient broke their navicular bone… he or she will laugh at you! Any undergrad human anatomy student should catch this mistake! I was hoping the corporal exams were more complete. Some common exams were left out of the book. I concur with the reviewer that Bates or Mosby should be used first. This way, you won’t look stupid in front of an attending.

I sought after to comment on the book in general (brilliant!) and a question about the use of “scaphoid” versus “navicular” for the carpal bone. I also wondered why both terms were used. “Scaphoid” comes from the Greek word for boat or skiff, “skaphe”. “Navicular comes from the Latin word for boat, “navicula.” I suggest that students use a excellent medical dictionary to look up confusing words. Dorland’s Medical Dictionary is fantastic for learning the origins of these words!

During my do whenever I needed to consult it, it gave me in rank about the symptoms and diseases. The contents are so tightly packed to reduce its volume that one feels it might not be having the required details but it does. Sometime one feels small of some diagrams or illustrations but even then it is very excellent.

As already said: Classic! Very technical, you’d be surprised to see how much in rank this small book carries.(although it’s got nearly 900 pages) very comprehensible, it’s a bit hard keep focused after a even as cause it’s very compressed, lots and lots of info. I really don’t know how it works for medical curriculum in US, I’m also suplementing it with McGee’s Evidence Based Diagnosis and Swartz’ Textbook of Corporal Examination, and as a brazilian student I reckon I might wanna buy a textbook of Internal Medicine, like Cecil’s or Harrison’s.
I didn’t had time yet to compare it to my colleages’ Mario Lopez or Celso Porto.

I guess you can never have it both ways… comprehensive and full of pictures… anyways, I like the book so far, only flaw is I wish they had key lab values to go by the side of with certain diseases so you may possibly correlate your exam with a cellular disease means… but I guess thats what med school is for… overall fantastic book… A perfect addition to bates… I have only just bought it so I do not know how many inaccuracies, but from the format I assume the authors are thoughtful and dedicated and errors will be far and few between. Delight in!
