I used it during my med/surg clincal rotation.My instructor recommended it. It was pretty helpful, and it's also inexpensive to buy.

I got it after I became an RN and it's pretty good. I sometimes forget I have it though! It's a great book for laypersons and healthcare professionals.

I loved mine, but left it behind somewhere in South India.........

Next one got stolen with my scope, scissors, back pack and engagement ring.

I love mine.........there are even a few sections written with a wry sense of humor, the most notable of which is the one about flatulence :chuckle It describes the different sounds and odors, and even includes a blurb about the famous Frenchman, LePetomaine, who used to entertain audiences with his "musical" talents! :rotfl:
