Title: Thankful a Friend Gave It To Me...
Review: ...because it didn't help me at all. First, there is just too much to memorize. I have to know "why" and be able to explain things fully in order for them to stick; rote memorization just doesn't work for me, but I thought I'd try since EVERYONE sings its praises. There are endless pneumonics that require one to memorize first what they stand for and then what they are related to...and they're not funny. The side notes on question traps were helpful until I started to find lots of errors in the text. I was then too paranoid to believe anything I was reading and gave up. I'd heard rave reviews about this book and how people have used only this to study. I think they either mastered the information beforehand or are test-taking whizzes and just needed a quick review, pearls, and tips.I found MedStudy very helpful for my learning style and it seems to be the Cliffs Notes version of Rudolph's Pediatrics, my favorite comprehensive pediatrics text.
