I don’t usually add my study books here, but this one I simply must. Hands down the most helpful book of all of medical school for understanding and solving problems re: fluids and acid base. The hypo/hypernatremia chapters are super packed with info to help understand the problems and how to solve them—-both for exams and clinic!

[Eric Huang]

Solid 4.5 stars. Especially appreciated the examples which help solidify review of electrolyte abnormalities. BUT this doesn’t feel like the classic “made ridiculously easy” book. If you’re looking for the “C3,4,5 keep the diaphragm alive” or “point and shoot” you won’t find it. Just a solid review of acid bases and good examples.

Relatively easy to follow guide on acid-base disorders and electrolyte disturbances. A book I don't plan to keep far from me while working in the hospital.

[Dale Gomez]

The real trick will be reconciling the info in this book with the info in the pathophys book. The analytical side of my brain should be throughly primed for business by the time I finish the two books, or completely confused. :-)

Just startend, but Sees to be as Good as promised
