Title: Not for medical students and residents
Review: Dubin's EKG book was a required text during my second year of medical school. I struggled with EKG interpretation even after reading this book. Other classmates expressed the same feelings. A large reason for this is that Dubin uses a ridiculous fill-in-the-blank approach that favors rote memorization over true understanding. It actually becomes more distracting to learn with this method than to just read an narrative explanation.Judging from the favorable reviews listed here, this book is probably better suited for other medical personnel such as paramedics, nurses, and technicians. Medical students and residents need a deeper level of understanding which this book does not provide.Look elsewhere for your EKG needs, such as Thaler's "The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need."
