Who was the moron who edited this book?
This book is absolutely rife with grammatical and spelling errors.If poor editing (or, more likely in this case, NO editing) bothers you, do NOT buy this book, as you will be too distracted by the numerous errors to concentrate on the content.Here are some of the more blatant examples from chapter 70: Paraneoplastic's Disorders; Endocrine's Disorders; Neurologic's Disorders; Hematologic's Disorders; Dermatologic's Disorders.Please, people -- it's called spell check, or use your half of a brain and hire a real editor.

Blueprints-medicine
Blueprints series is overall pretty good. The Medicine book is a quick read that will give the reader a sufficient amount of knowledge and detail regarding that subject matter, however I think that it is appropriate to supplement some of the chapters with Cecil's to get a full understanding of the material. Overall, I recommend this book because it is a quick read and it isnt in the "bullet" style format that many of the books are- but rather in a flowing paragraph form.

A good source
I have just finished my internal medicine rotation and found this book quite useful to study from.It is easy to find relevant material and it had everything but the very most recent research, which you won't get in any book anyway.Overall, I use it and plan on using it as a reference when needing to go over internal medicine again.P.S. I also find Harrisons necessary, and the washington manual of course.

great book!!
this book is great as a complement to other "heavier" sources, but it really gets you a feel of the topic you choose and its super easy to read! i aced step 2 thanks to this book, first aid and a lot of quetions!(usmleworld and nms 2007).
you wont regret it!!!

MUST HAVE FOR IM ROTATION
First I have to say the Blueprints Medicine book is probably the best review book I've ever read.It does not replace the Washington Manual or UPTODATE, but its very helpful to have with you.While it's a bit larger than the UCV or BRS style books, I feel it is worth it.With each chapter averaging 6-15 pages it makes for a very flexible review schedule.If a student were to read it while on a medicine for 4-8 weeks it makes for a great nightly read.At the same time using it as a board review book is another option.Single chapters are easily digested with the help of numerous key point boxes and easy to read charts scattered throughout the chapters.Honestly, I found this book very enjoyable to read.The question section at the end of book nicely completes the package.While Cecil's is a nice reference book to keep on the shelf this book is a must to keep in your backpack and read on those 20 minute breaks on rotations. ...

Chapters: Liberal Party, James Tien, Selina Chow, Lau Dan, Michael Tien, Miriam Lau, Tommy Cheung, Vincent Fang, Howard Young. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 31. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Liberal Party (traditional Chinese: ) is a business-friendly liberal conservative political party in Hong Kong. The party is known for its conservative and business-friendly policies. Despite being a political party friendly with Beijing, it fits in the centre-right political spectrum. Although not a libertarian party in the traditional sense, the Hong Kong Liberal Party is an example of a political party with libertarian economic policies such as the opposition of a minimum wage, collective bargaining, and antitrust legislation. The party also supports limited government, low taxes, and a high degree of economic freedom. The party has been fairly neutral on social issues such as universal suffrage, whilst opposing measures that disturb the public sentiment too greatly: the resignation from the Executive Council by its leader James Tien in 2003 prevented the implementation of Article 23 of the Basic Law, which ultimately accelerated the downfall of the Tung administration. The party does not advocate welfare entitlements. Many of its members are from the merchant and business sectors and see preserving the current state of economic freedom as being the most advantageous in general. It was originally founded as a party for businesspeople appointed to the Legislative Council by the Government of Hong Kong. It has been alleged that the party began leaning towards the pro-government camp within a few years before the transfer of sovereignty. Under Tung Chee Hwa's administration, it was generally considered a government-ally. Since Donald Tsang took over in November 2005, the party has continu...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=210534 ...

Great book for a quick consise read of topics
i loved this book. It helped me greatly to get thru the OB/GYN rotation. I'm a PA student and I loved reading it. In fact i read the entire book and answered all the questions. It provided explanations to questions which helps you understand why u r correct or wrong in ans choice. Highly recommended.

Great Purchase for Many Clerkships
Blueprints is a great review book for your third year rotations.It does not have too much detail, but enough so you know you've covered all of your bases.If you need more detail, you can always go to the web or to a textbook from the library.

blueprints bundle (med, peds, ob/gyn, psych, surgury)
I've only used med and peds so far, good questions in back in shelf/usmle format.Highly recommend for clinicals, only downside is med was a little thick to get through by the end of my rotation.

Blueprints
The Blueprints series in combination with UCV, first aid step 2, NMS question helped me ace step 2 and make a score in the high 90s. Must start with a sound step 1 base though. Highly recommended. Mastering the material is a must though.

Outstanding Series
I used Blueprints as my primary study guide during my third year of medical school for all rotations.They have all the information you need to know for shelf examinations.Really!I scored well above the 90th percentile on all shelf exams by diligently studying this series.A must have for clinical rotations.
