ULTIMATE MEDICAL MNEMONIC COMIC BOOK

Well organized! This has been an amazing supplement to my studying for the pance coming up in April.

It’s alright. Good for some pathologies, but some others there’s some errors. Also some of the mnemonics are really awful. I thought it is also expensive for what it is. The positive is the algorithm @ the end for arrhythmias.

Loved the book.

I have no idea why this is called a comic book, but whoever labeled it so evidently doesn't know what a comic book IS. However, it's a very handy illustrated guide full of mnemonic devices to help with the countless facts that medical professionals to be need to memorize to become practicing medical professionals. Some of them are more memorable than others, but to be honest what works for you works for you - and not always because it's perfect. Due to the phrase, "You will be embarrassed if you spell embarrass with too few r's and s's" I will never misspell embarrassed - because I have never, ever forgotten that incredibly lame mnemonic device. (Seriously. It is so dumb. And so effective for me.)Herein we read that "When a muscular African American on steroids wears a HANES tank top in Northern Europe, young women CALL him CUTE" to help us remember key features of Sarcoidosis - mostly strikes African Americans, Northern Europeans, and young women. HANES, CALL and CUTE track to some key initials. Steroids are treatment of choice."Rather than take steroids, Guillain went to camp where he learned to SAW trees and eat lots of protein BARRS" similarly contains some key information about Guillain-Barre Syndrome.Will it help you? Depends on how you're wired mostly likely, but if nothing else there's some very handy review material here on a wide variety of conditions and facts that need to be learned.As for me, I have remember how not to misspell embarrass for 40 years now. I think that one's ground in good.

I tried emailing the author but no surprise, NO RESPONSE.LOVE teh format, the bright colors and the quality of the construction, but errors in content are BAD. This isn't even the first version --- who was the editor??Granted, the god-awful pance prep pealrs, hilariously by the same author, is completely illegible due to its horrible formatting. So, if you had to choose between the two (I have both), I'd still get this, because PPP hurts my eyes and sits on a shelf, while this one I actually want to use for studying.
