Title: Medical School Essential
Review: I found this book to be absolutely essential for getting through medical school gross anatomy, although not everyone does. I can't imagine learning anatomy without Moore and Dailey, but I have classmates who never picked it up and learned anatomy from Grant's Dissector, Netter's Atlas, and lecture notes alone. On the one hand, Moore and Dailey is so replete with details that it's not the most time efficient way of studying, but it's got pretty much everything that you'll need to know in it, and probably more. It's also got such great illustrations that, armed with only this text, a dissector, and a cadaver, it's possible to get through gross anatomy with Moore and Dailey and no atlas, although I would recommend picking up Netter's atlas, too, and possibly Rohen and Yokochi for self-testing yourself if you really want to splurge. Gross anatomy is rough, so do yourself a favor and don't skimp on buying study materials to save yourself a few bucks.
