Excellent consolidation book! Fun!

This is a fantastic book that unlike most others out there does a great job of putting you in the driver's seat - it's clinically oriented and as such presents patients to you asks you critical questions that you should be asking yourself. It's amazing because of it's completeness; if the patient has a specific set of symptoms the book reminds you that the differential must include other, non-micro diagnoses. A wonderful book that I went through with my study group and the best part is that it acts also as a springboard for discussion of a great many other things. Very wonderfully written and FUN! especially if you have an intermediate to good understanding of micro before you start. This book will assume you have a minimal knowledge of micro, so it makes a perfect companion to ridiculously simple as that book is the opposite - all the basic facts are there, skipping the application. This book solidifies.
