Enables the reader to see cardio-pulmonary-renal physiology as well as immunology and other areas as a clear conceptual whole. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good place to start for boards reviewThis is a good first source in beginning your Step 1 review. It'll jog your memory before you dive into other review books. It also has very helpful ways of explaining physiology concepts (except for the pulmonary chapter) which you may have had trouble understanding before. This book has less of the helpful pictures compared to their Microbiology MRS book, but the text is still very good and easy to understand. If you have trouble with physio, try this book! Rating: - Use as directed, separate the forest from the trees!I'm a first year Med student and have found this book to be a valuable resource. The explanations are perfect for gaining a broad understanding of often difficult subjects before diving into the textbooks and journals. The chapters about fluid/electrolyte balance and immunology are incredible, clarifying concepts that I had struggled through previously. In addition, clinical correlations augment the discussion of normal physiology, keeping things real for those us getting early clinical ...

Through a systems-based approach, an otherwise complicated and tedious subject is transformed into an accesible and enjoyable voyage. Quite honestly, you should leave your standard thick physiology texts in the corner to use for curls or bench pressing... this book ABSOLUTELY encompasses the key knowledge of physiology in a fraction of the time. It seems like a gimmick, but it isn't. Having graduated from med school a few ... Read More Rating:  - Not worth the moneyI agree with other reviewers of this ancillary text. It's too incomplete even to function as a quick study guide. Major topics are glossed over and vital areas are missed entirely. A vastly better choice is the STARS Physiology text. The Clinical Physiology Made Ridiculously Simple book is simple NOT as good as others in this series, especially the Microbiology text which is excellent. Med students - don't waste your money on this book. Rating:  - Not very usefulI know it is not a complete textbook, but the information is "too incomplete", there is many important stuff left out and so many irrelevant information in it, it lacks order and needs well placed subtitles to make reading easier. The ECG and the diagram on pulmonary capacities is good, but this book is really not worth it. It is possible to find a better choice.
