good review,
The first third of the book has information for someone who is about to enter a residency. The last two thirds has chapters for someone that is about to enter their third year. I have yet to understand that reason why they included this seemingly different information in one book. It should be split into two.

|Ehh..It has its moments,
This book was required for my FamMed clerkship. I like the general format and flow of it, but it doesn’t provide much in the way of strong clinical guidelines “rules of thumb” that you need to make decisions in the real world; memorizing the endless epi / study data presented is useless.
Fatal Flaw: This is the FIFTH edition of this book. (If I understand that correctly, it means it has been re-edited and re-printed 5 times.) The number of typos is absurd and unacceptable. One or two is understandable, but after a while, you start to get the feeling that no one really cared enough about this book to bother with proof reading it. Spelling errors are annoying. The WORST is when they use an abbreviation(eg ATFL) and define it as one thing (anterior talofibular ligament) and then use it to mean other things a few pages later (anterior tibiofibular ligament…fyi, these are not the same ligaments…) SO ANNOYING!

|Not a good reference book,
This book was “required” reading at my med school, and NO ONE found it helpful. It had a very general overview of concepts, but was not good for a reference book or for studying for the shelf exam. As a resident, I wouldn’t waste my time with it either.
