needs improvement
I am currently working on my MSN and we are utilizing this book for my advanced patho class. This book had poor editing (I've found numerous mistakes in only a few weeks of classes); there are great pictures provided for examples, but it would be great if the pictures had an arrow pointing to what the captions is referring to (for example, I have not had radiology, so I need "fluffy infiltrates" to be pointed out to me; and there are many statements made about treatments for disorders but no indication about why that is helpful, such as p. 820 (6th ed) "Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication is the treatment of choice"--for pain I'm assuming?
Overall, I like the layout, but it needs some touch-ups.
