Review
That book did not reach me and I sent a message to seller about it; but I did not get a reply until now.
This is the worst book of the series and is a waste of time. Pharmacology cannot be taught by clinical vignettes and the author himself recognizes this. In the book review section of First Aid, Dr. Bhushan admits that it is not an ideal review source. The problem is that within two lines of the clinical vignette, the drug is revealed, so there is no chance to guess the answer. There are less time consuming ways to learn the side effects of drugs.

Review
I usually dont like this format of books where everything is too dense and compressed but this book changed everything. The book contains a huge amount of high yield facts many of which i had on my exam. Very well organized with a great section in pharma' and pathology but kind of weak on physiology. I read it a couple of times during the months before the exam and in the last week it was my only study source. All together a great one ,a must have book for anyone taking the first step.
Obviously some of the previous people who have written reviews about first aid are greatly misinformed as how to study for step 1. No one book will cover everything you need to know for the test, that should have learned this over a period of 2 years in medical school. First Aid does not "claim" to cover it all, all it does is cover very high yield stuff that you really should be taking into the test IN ADDITION to more information. Do not be fooled, FIRST AID is necessary. Perhaps this is the reason why EVERY medical student taking the USMLE owns at least one edition. This being the case, you are doing yourself great harm by not using a book that everyone is using, especially since this is a standardized exam.
For all foreign doctors, this book is a goal if you want to have short information and help to remind the correct answer in the test. All the Docs must have one.

Thanks to seller I took that book in despite of many difficulties in delivery
I took this book in 4 days. Thanks
The Microbiology books are arguably the best books of the Underground Clinical Vignette series. Microbiology is very high yield on Step 1 and many questions are asked from a clinical standpoint. I highly recommend these books as a part of a final review before Step 1. It is a good way to learn the clinical presentations of the rare and exotic diseases that may otherwise be missed during review.

Review
Know these Vignettes! Nothing more to say. They will be tested over. Period :)
There was a lot of material in the books in this series, yet I found myself getting through them quickly and retaining a lot of the information, I think because the material is so well presented and explained. Great cases and the format is tailor-made for current USMLE format. This author really understand what the board question writers are into. For me, this type of review was the best way for me to get ready for Step 1.
After studying like crazy for a full month for the USMLE, I needed a break from reading textbooks. I decided to check out this case-based review because a friend recommended it. I am still thanking him for this recommendation. This book and the other books in the series really prepare you well for the USMLE, because they get you used to the long clinical vignettes that made up most of my exam. The cases and explanantions are EXTREMELY high-yield and very concise but thorough. I recommend the whole series for anyone who wants to do well on the Step 1 exam.

Review
I thought this book was a great review of Step 1 material. Has 1,000 questions with pretty good answer explanations.I would not recommend using this as your only source of questions. However, it is a good question source for rapid review of a lot of information. You can get through the questions rather quickly. Offers a nice change of pace from the NMS series or Board Review Series (which tend to bog you down with long, very detailed answers requiring intense attention).Highly recommend as an additional source of questions.P.S. Remember, the best way to score high on Step 1 is QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS!!!
its a fair source of basic concepts, but lacks the true reflection of standard of difficulty of boards.if you are a foreign medical graduate and have time it's much better to use NMS BOARD SIMULATOR SERIES.
This book gives excellent examples of what you will face during the real test. It is a good guideline to show how you are doing in terms of preparation. It gave me great confidence which I desperately needed to do well on this test

Review
Thanks for her responsibility; eventhough many delivery problems I received the book and the book looks like a new one.
That book did not reach me and I learned that it went to the seller back; I sent a message to them asking they are able to send it again; I did not get a reply until now.
All three of the PathoPysiology books of the Clinical Vignettes series are excellent review books for pre-clinical students taking Step 1. Many questions on the exam are asked from a clinical standpoint. For IMGs who have clinical experience before taking Step 1, these books are less useful. However, they are still good to review unusual diseases. Since Pathology is so heavily tested in Step 1, these books are a good investment for anyone preparing for Step 1.
