Physio book

The book is a good reference, have not actually used it too much for studying yet. Amazon completely let me down in shipping how ever, it took nearly 2 weeks to get the book, that was shipping from North St. Louis County to West County.

Medical physiology

The book is a nice introduction to the physiological systems in the human body, and gives a detailed description for a lot of physiological conditions pertaining to the different systems. It is very informative, and precise.

Extremely well written and very clear

If you need a thorough or even basic understanding of physiology, this book is great. It is extremely well written and 99% of it makes sense on the first read-through. My professor keeps saying how great this book, and i completely agree with her.

AMAZING

This book is simply amazing and the classic text on physiology. There were so many times in medical school and even now in residency when I was totally confused and clueless about some topic....when I used this book to read up on it, all the facts became crystal clear and easy to understand. Bottom line: GREAT book, highly recommend for med school and beyond!!!!
