pathophysiology HELP [recommendations]

a good anatomy and physiology book is an absolute must along with a fluid and electrolyte reference of some sort. you have to understand where the anatomy and/or physiology has gone wrong in order to understand the disease processes. i keep a nursing pathophysiology book at home as a reference. it is quite extensive with nearly 1700 pages. pathophysiology: the biologic basis for disease in adults and children, 3rd edition, by katherine l. mccance and sue e. huether. for added fun you should have some medical school websites for reference as well. during the spring break would be a good time to check them out on the web. i would go into the websites of various medical schools and then do a search for one or two specific diseases to see what comes up. not all, but some schools or professors have put information on websites to help students out and you want to find those gems. here are some other sites with pathophysiology links you might want to check out.
