I've got it, find some of it useful. Got one of the previously owned ones and it's only got a couple of diagrams already partly coloured.....tend to photocopy the pages and write over them as required.

It works for some people. Not for me though

trawl charity shops for a few weeks, and you shuld be able to pick it up for fifty pee.

dont spend your money on books. unnecessary spending.... that really takes the piss out of students who cant afford their textbooks when you get to med skool.
to date, i've never bought a medical textbook and i manage just fine, the librarys good enuff for me and the reason why i pay my uni 3000 a year for, not so i can spend another £200 like some of my dumbo neighbours i can fink of.

so dont buy books!
use your library, and the ultimate resource, your brain.

In one of my anatomy lectures last year I saw it. It was better than most of the stuff the lecturer was saying! I'm planning to get a second hand version at some point

I like the fact that it has nice clear diagrams that are easy to trace (being black and white) so that I can put decent diagrams into my own notes. Tracing a diagram for annotation is a great way of doing something vaguely productive when your brain isn't really up for proper work!

This was being touted as good revision tool for qualified doctors who needed a refresher course.

I think the colouring in would help you to remember stuff, if you have that kind of visual memory, there's a physiology colouring in book too
