Corwin gives a excellent synopsis of the theme. Explaining in clear detail the key mechanisms behind cancer and other afflictions. Aided by a few colour diagrams that are well drawn.
The audience is meant to be nurses and other medical personnel (excluding doctors). Yet the text can be helpful to an educated layman interested in a synopsis. Much of it can be understandable, without being in a medical profession.

Prof. Corwin’s Handbook is precise, user-friendly, and comprehensive despite the absence of many of the details found in larger, heavier text books. Its lightweight makes for simple and enjoyable reading. But, it is no lightweight in terms of content, structure, or organization. Every theme heading is listed in the table of contents making referencing just so what you are looking for quick and direct. Each major section starts with a description of normal physiology followed by the various disease processes, clinical manifestations, and treatment options. For any nursing student or curriculum planners, the Handbook is a must.

Even as the class can be a confusing mess of lab values and pathologies, Dr. C’s book is undemanding and concise. If you’re taking her class, this is the only text book you should be using. If you’re taking someone else’s class, you can use this as a nice study guide or care plot tool! Diagrams and pictures are helpful and it is organized by body systems with a excellent index in back to guide you to specific diseases, etc. I’d urge this version since the 2003 addition had incorrect info on a few diseases (eg. diabetes) that have been extensively researched in the last 7 years!

This a fantastic pathophysiology book. The material is condensed and to the top. I reckon it’s an simple read compared to other pathophysiology books.
