Summary: Did anyone proofread this book???
Review: The information in this book is pretty good, and seems to be a fairly thorough review for Boards, etc. More illustrations and diagrams would be helpful, especially if carefully selected or drawn specifically for the book. Many of the ones in the book seem to have been haphazardly pulled from random sources.

My biggest problem with this book is the amazingly high number of typographical errors. The Cardiac chapter was particularly bad (in one four line answer, "mmHg" was referred to as "Tom Hg", "min Hg", "Trim Hg", and "mmHg"). After a while, the errors became more distracting, and worrisome---if there are this many typos that I'm catching, how many errors are in the factual information??

Overall, I'd recommend this book, but take it with a grain of salt and check out anything that seems iffy. Hopefully they'll get better proofreaders for the next edition.
