I learned a lot of new things from this book. I went through it over the course of 3 classes, and one of my only complaints is how rapidly the book moves through some things that aren't very easy to understand. If you're a beginner in the medical field and just starting to learn more than the basics of anatomy and physiology, it feels like you're being pelted and that there's little reprieve. After all the burnout and brain fog, it was easier to understand the material. There's a lot of good info in here, and it motivates you to seek out more.
