This was a nice compliment to my general physiology textbook for clinical A&P in CRNA school. It prepared me well for test and also used as a reference for later.

Before you read my thoughts you need to know that i am a senior medicine resident interested in Endocrine. This book is a good study companion if you are studying for the USMLE step 1 or if you are a 2nd year student and want more in depth knowledge of Endocrine Physiology. If you are a part of these 2 classes this book is surely the best for you. If you want more than that don't buy it. Consider Washington Manual Endocrinology subspecialty consult as a cheap choice or a textbook like Williams Endocrinology

I don't know about this one....maybe if it came with a book of corrections! I don't really recommend it, unless you enjoy reading books with a bunch of errors.
