Book Reviews of First Aid Cases for the USMLE Step 1 (First Aid)
Book Review: good for step 1 prep
Summary: 5 Stars
cases are good, presentation of Q and A is also good..all in all, i like this book for my step 1 prep.Book Review: Too many mistakes, subpar to UCV
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book after I read all 8 UCV (Undeground Clinical Vignettes) from the same authors. I was able to compare them. Obviously it has fewer cases, most of them are identical. FA team rushed this book in production and as a result there are lots of mistakes and really inconvinient layout. My only recommendation is to buy a cheaper previous edition of UCV books (ISBN 0632045590). Book Review: it needs improvement.
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, it is a good book, however, it has some areas which it can improve. I am reading this page right now, that is when i decided to write this review.
for example, on page, 160, case 15 for GI system, it listed a case, and I was trying to guess the diagnosis, but it didn't have one!on that page, it has "live blood supply, hepatocytes, structures close by the liver, fetal blood supply, where is falciform ligament", none of those have anything to do with the case. At least, tell us the diagnosis.
Another thing, it frequently list lab findings, but it doesn't list the normal values. The normal values are not listed at the end of the book, either. It would be nice if they can just list the lab value, and relevant normal values side by side, so it can speed up the reading.
Book Review: good for step 1 prep
Summary: 4 Stars
This is not bad as another book to have for Step1 Prep. Don't overwhelm yourself with too many books because there are ALOT of books out there. Just pick a handful becuase otherwise you will have conflicting information.Book Review: Just Get the BOOK!!! Yes That Good
Summary: 5 Stars
Just Get the BOOK!!! Yes That Good!!! It helps you think about every aspect of a concept. Example, path & Physio of what's going on with the patient. It brings important concepts in medicine in extremely valid cases which are written "like" the NBME questions. I would rec this book 100% worth every penny!!!
