fluid and electrolyte help!!

I am supposed to read pages 321-333 in Lewis med/surg book on electrolyte and fluid balance. We are not required to have the text until next quarter and I don't have the 148.00 to buy one right now. (2 weeks until the end of the quarter) plus the bookstore is out of them any way. I was wondering if any one had access to this book and could scan the pages on here for me. There is only one copy of this book in the library and it is never there (70 students trying at the same time I guess), and I hate the thought of driving to school 60 miles for a book that isn't there. Any help would be greatly appreciated! oh and if you have the old text it is pages 337-349 Thanks again!:welcome:

You can read any textbook to get a feel for the material so at least you'd be prepared.

I have that textbook, but I don't have a scanner.

All textbooks are essential the same because they can't make up new stuff about the material, they just word it differently.

See if you can buy the previous edition.

Call the customer service of the textbook publisher of this textbook and tell them your problem. I have been told by two different professors in the past that it is possible to get individual chapters of textbooks from the publishers for free. Some of the publishers actually have a website where you can download and print out a chapter at a time from their textbooks. You should also talk to someone as high up in the chain of command at your college bookstore about getting just these pages from the publisher as well. There is a solution to this that should cost you way less than the cost of a new textbook. Shame on your instructor for making an assignment like this and then leaving you students hanging in the wind!

I did at one time go to a website for McGraw-Hill as I had gotten a copy of a textbook that had 60 pages missing from it when it was bound! I did try downloading the missing pages, but they covered a number of chapters and ended up calling McGraw-Hill's customer service line. Turned out there was a whole bunch of copies that had these same pages missing and they replaced my textbook for free by priority mail.

thanks to all that replied. i went to the publishers web site and brought up the book thank goodness the one chapter that you could review in whole was the chapter that I needed. i thought it was a little crazy to to require reading from a book that we aren't required to get until next quarter. once again thank you everyone especially daytonite for the tip about the publisher it is highly appreciated.
