Thanks, Bambi!

Anyone else care to offer an opinion?

Underwood is not bad. I would recommend Stevens and Lowe. Robbins is the best but a bit too complex for year 2.

Thanks, Yazoo. Do you mean Robbins "Basic Pathology"?

No. I meant Pathologic Basis of Disease. Far too detailed for undergrad as a whole. But generally regarded as the best general path textbook in the UK despite being American (and therefore giving Amercian health stats). Just shows how good it is. I found it too much until 4th/5th year. I only had it as given to me as present.

I bought Underwood. I used it a bit, but much more Stevens and Lowe from the library or Robbins.
