For me, the book worked because our instructors used many of the vignettes and questions on our exam.

However, for the general student of medicine, this book is ridiculous. For example, after presenting a short patient vignette, it asks for a differential. Working with friends, I tried to come up with three reasonable diagnoses given the symptoms. The book would give three, but two of the three would be completely UNreasonable. It would say something like, "Diagnosis #1 relies on findings of A, B, C, and D. However, our patient does not report A, C, or D, so this diagnosis is unlikely."

I didn't find that to be at all helpful.

Additionally, the multiple choice and matching questions are quite easy, probably too easy to be useful for anyone more than a few months into your training, regardless of field (RN, PA, MD, etc...).

All in all, I think this book is a waste of money for most people. Just read the margin notes in Bates, and review the tables at the end of each chapter, and you'll get a much better review than this will provide.

Since I bought this book as an added companion for my Advanced Health Assessment textbook, my grades have improved by approx 10%-12%. If that doesn't speak about the quality and usefulness of this material, I don't know what does!
