I have the complete edition of this book (both volumes together) and did not buy it from Amazon, but I figured I would leave a review on the actual content of the book and how it holds up as an academic text. This was a required text for my Medical-Surgical Nursing lecture. I picked up this book and Sander's Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX RN.
Content: As for as content goes, the book is chock full of it. This is a catch-22 as every chapter seems to follow no specific order in which information is divulged to the reader. Disease and pathologies are just thrown out in seemingly whatever order. It would be much preferable in a systems-based approach rather than a "likeness of disease" based approach (ie Cystic Fibrosis, which affecting lung and pancreatic organs would be better suited in the Endocrine section as opposed to Respiratory - many topics follow this trend). I will give the book point for incorporating useful algorithms and charts, although they can take up the several pages and are often not spaced properly which makes it difficult to read. Overall, the book does cover all the essentials and then some, it's just not the easiest to follow.
Appeal: Another consideration for this book is that it could make better use of medical terminology and scientific implementation. Many discussions on disease pathologies and cellular mechanics are worded very much for the everyday person.
