I haven't taken Step 2 yet but supposedly this is The Book you want to have read, so whatever. I like it but I often wonder if I'm getting enough detail out of it. In fact, I know I'm not, as far as the "wards" part is concerned. So many times I've turned to it for a quick answer to a pimp question and found...nothing. I don't carry it around in my labcoat anymore for that reason, but the collective voice of so many residents (recommending it for boards) just cannot be ignored, and so I continue to read...

This concise review for the essential knowledge any medical college graduate have to know is wonderful. It is not an extensive review book it is just give you the tips and headlines for commonly tested subjects in the licensure for medical practice in US and other countries. It is good for last minutes review but it is so deficient and week in the management part of most of the diseases.
