.The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down
City Travel Guides > Books > Physician and Patient
by: Anne Fadiman

September 28, 1998
Because this book came along with two others, one which was quite huge and heavy, the book cover was damaged when it arrived. Other than that it arrived within estimated arrival time.

.Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, Sixth Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Physician and Patient
by: Dale Dubin

October 15, 2000
Dubin's book is not bad. The main text is not terribly high yield for studying for an exam in med school. The format is a little infuriating--too many pages containing trivial information that you're forced to flip through and skim. The useful information in this book, however, is really useful which makes this book somewhat worth reading. The summary/pocket guide that is included in the back is extremely high yield and that alone can be used in conjunction with the course materials/syllabi to get a good picture of typical EKG patterns and their pathophysiology.

.How Doctors Think
City Travel Guides > Books > Physician and Patient
by: Jerome Groopman

March 12, 2008
As an MD and ocxcasional patient, I think this book is a must for all of us. I gave it out as a present to my MD friends, to my private physician and to a cousin who is a very knowledgeable RN. This book is written with modesty, humor and empathy, things which some of us lack. I am not sure that all lay people will get the gist of it, but I recommend it highly.

.The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People with Alzheimer Disease, Other Dementias, and Memory Loss in Later Life, 4th Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Physician and Patient
by: Nancy L. Mace, Peter V. Rabins

October 09, 2006
This book has many useful suggestions and shows a deep understanding of the challenges of caregiving for someone with dementia. It was comforting to read the short descriptions of situations and how to react to them. It made me less irritable with caring for my relative. I plan to get another copy to have available for when I meet other people who face the same issues.

.Izzy & Lenore: Two Dogs, an Unexpected Journey, and Me
City Travel Guides > Books > Physician and Patient
by: Jon Katz

September 23, 2008
He is my favorite author....involves his audience right away, makes the reader feel like extended family...has excellent balanced perspective., and captures the essence of his animals, and for those that share that love of animals, he gives us an extended animal family as well.

.Final Gifts: Understanding the Special Awareness, Needs, and Communications of the Dying
City Travel Guides > Books > Physician and Patient
by: Maggie Callanan, Patricia Kelley

February 03, 1997
I first read this book as my dad was approaching death, which was caused by his cancer. It gave me valuable insights into what my dad, and my family, were going through. I have since purchased and given copies of this book to several friends and family members. I highly recommend it to anyone, but especially if they are currently going through the impending loss of a loved one.

.Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance
City Travel Guides > Books > Physician and Patient
by: Atul Gawande

January 22, 2008
Like another Amazon reviewer, I found this book to be the best book written about the medical profession in some time. Dr. Gawande's style is lively and thought-provoking, particularly as he discusses practicing medicine in war-torn Iraq or how doctors struggle with ethical concerns relating to capital punishment.

.Crush Step 3: The Ultimate USMLE Step 3 Review (Secrets)
City Travel Guides > Books > Physician and Patient
by: Adam Brochert

June 11, 2008
I have been studying for the USMLE step 3 since Last May, I have bought a number of review books from nail the board to the recall as well as first aid step 3.

I have nearly completed the USMLEWORLD qbank and been doing kaplan Qbank and at this point, I was tempted to take a look at the so called "throughly updated", Crush step 3, which is false and misleading. They simply changed the coloring and layout of the same book and added a few tables for vaccinations and RA meds!

Its not really updated but they added such as "smoking is the number one modifiable cause of death" instead of older version, which was preventable...

there are many outdated informations and simply incorrect informations but they did not bother to correct it ... Read More:
