This covered a lot of material in relatively few pages. Good overall review of internal medicine

[Ken Schaefle · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read this complaint regarding the author Vincent Young and Davoren Chick:

'Ms. Chick is the most arrogant, self-absorbed, un-compassionate, moron of a "physician" I have seen in my life. She thinks of herself as God and will treat you like a lab rat. From the moment she walks in the door, she is worried about the next patient she has to see. Her only concern is to get you to come back for more useless office visits with her!

How can UM keep such an unprofessional "doctor" on their staff/faculty is beyond me.'

Most of the book is plagiarism, according to my professor at Columbia.

This book makes the medicine easy to learn and is essential for all physicians.

too superficial, but a good read quick read for the possibility of an inquisition the next day.
