All of the cases can be found online through the book websites. There is nothing in the book that cannot be found online. I thought the book would provide solutions and treatments to the cases that are not available online. It doesn't, its just patient cases with no real treatments or solutions.

I bought this for pharmacy school. It's not very helpful, and I found several instances where I'm almost positive there are mistakes in the cases. The book does not provide treatment strategies and is pretty limited in scope. I found that asking an attending physician for a look into some inpatient charts was way more helpful, plus they were real patient cases. Overall it's a poorly written book.
