Review: Best Short Overview of Pathophysiology for All Clinicians - I am a nursing student who learns things by understanding them on a deep level (causes, patterns, connections) rather than by memorizing isolated fragments. So this book is excellent for someone like me. Unlike the assigned textbook for pathophysiology, this book begins its survey of the clinical problems that can affect each body system with a "big picture" preview--and always in the simplest, clearest language possible. Here, for instance, is how the pulmonary system chapter begins: "What problems could affect the alveolar sac and/or airways? 1. The sac is already filled with something other than air. 2. The sac does not open adequately. 3. The sac is unable to expire adequately due to either obstruction of the airways or decreased elastic recoil of the sac itself." The rest of the chapter simply fills in the details of these three possibilities. Moreover, the book is filled with extremely useful devices for remembering and organizing the information presented. There are on virtually every page very clear diagrams, pictures, or formulas that capture a central concept in a memorable figure. For instance, a figure depicting the renal system, with blood supply, nephron, and collecting system (ureter, etc) uses little pointing hands to show the classification of kinds of acute renal failure: prerenal, intrinsic, and postrenal. Second, the book has many helpful mnemonics. For instance, "aldosteRoNe causes Reabsorption of Na (sodium)." Finally, the book provides detailed but wonderfully clear and simple explanations of virtually every pathophysiological problem, including many of the major diagnostics for distinguishing them. Moreover, it frequently uses questions in the text to give the reader a chance to think about the problem. For instance, in discussing hyperthryroidism, the author points out the two main mechanisms: "The thyroid over-secretes thyroid hormone (primary) or the pituitary over-stimulates the thyroid to secrete thyroid hormone (secondary). One needs only one lab value to distinguish between primary and secondary hyperthyroidism. Which one? Think about negative feedback. If the thyroid itself secretes lots of hormone 'without being told to,' this would increase negative feedback on the pituitary. So in primary hyperthyroidism TSH will be low." Plainly, one cannot come to this book without an adequate background in basic anatomy and physiology. Nor does the book presume to provide detailed coverage of everything, as Guyton and Hall do. But it is the best short overview of pathophysiology I have ever seen, and it helped me tremendously in understanding and therefore thinking critically about clinical problems.
Review: Worth its Weight in Gold - WOW! This is my new favorite medical textbook! Definitely closes the gaps between didactic and wards. Wonderful explanations and diagrams, just like the other Made Ridiculously Simple books. Highly recommend!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Short Overview of Pathophysiology for All Clinicians

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Absolute Best!
*by C***I on April 21, 2020*

I love this series of books! A lot of students struggle with pathophysiology. (Personally, I find pharmacology more difficult, but that's neither here nor there.) Anyone struggling to understand pathophysiology or anyone just wanting to read pathophysiology simplified - as much as it can be - needs to read this book. While written primarily for college and medical school students - I'm working on a MS is Advanced Biosciences - even intelligent and engaged high school biology and physiology students should be able to understand this book. It describes the disease process according to each system of the body. For example, on the first page, we begin to read an anatomical overview of the heart, then we jump right into heart failure and its causes. The book continues describing most everything that can adversely affect the heart and how to treat it, then it dives into the pulmonary system, the renal system, the gastrointestinal system, etc. There's nothing extraneous, but there's nothing left out, either. (As the author points out in the preface, you won't find information on histopathology, epidemiology, diagnostic algorithms, treatment protocols, and psychosocial medicine in this book. This book is dedicated to what causes disease and how to treat it. That's it. And that's all I wanted, at least from this book.) Even my non-medical, non-scientific sister could understand this book, though she really wasn't interested in it. I've maintained a 4.0 average in my Advanced Pathophysiology class, and I really have to credit this book for much of that grade. (I love my textbook, but it can be daunting at times.) I read this book before my class began, and I refer to it often during class projects and the writing of papers. The only thing I wish were different is that the book were spiral bound. However, if you're a college student, or even a high school student studying human physiology, I think you'll find this book very helpful. I've been recommending it too all my classmates, and the ones who've read it love it! I think you will, too.
