This book helped so much throughout nursing school. The explanations are extremely concise and help you think through body processes on your own instead of just memorizing. Also, the mnemonics are very useful. It's also in general fun to read because of the engaging writing style. Cannot recommend it enough for people in school or just interested in physiology!

This is a fantastic supplement to any pathophysiology textbook. Concepts are explained in a way that makes you think through things logically. The author often asks you to think “why would this happen?” to help you think through the process of the disease. Would make a very handy reference book for any healthcare student.

love it - gets me thinking about how I am going to convince the resident to let me add something besides calories to that i.v....

in the meantime I'm sure to remember what good ole "It's all about the food" Pocari said about playing well with others...
