I purchased this book for a Disease Process class and it covers just about everything. It's really giving me great insight on diseases and treatment options available. Great reference tool for future use.
The book itself is just right for beginners in the study of health science. It is adequate for health care professionals other than physicians.As a purchase, it was better than O.K. It cost me a fraction of the market price, it arrived within a matter of days, much earlier than promised. The condition of the book is NOT great, but I could not expect much from an used book.
This book was clearly unedited. It has several mistakes, especially in the review questions at the end of each chapter. I was extremely disappointed in this book. It was a waste of money, and I do not suggest it for anyone. All of this information can be found in simple google searches of the diseases - and Google would actually give you more and better information than can be found in this book. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your money on this book.
After buying one used on here that was unreadable, I bought a copy from . The included CD software is clunky and a bit of a pain to use. But, the text is good. This is required text for a diseases class, and I plan to keep it for reference after I complete the course.
I bought this book for college through because it was cheaper than buying it at the college bookstore. It's a pretty good book, however, I personally feel that they could have added a little more information to each topic.
This book is full of information, easy to read and understand. It's in great shape "like new", came as promised. I by most of my textbooks through . Usually have the best prices and availability.This book is informative and very easy to read!
The only reason I am not giving this book five stars is because the review questions at the end of each chapter are incorrect in the teacher's edition. The text itself is accurate and very good. I saved money by purchasing this book through instead of buying it through my school's bookstore.
Great book, it is so full of information beneficial to the health care field or in medicine. Easy to follow and packed with helpful information.
