The Fifth Edition incorporates current research from the field; new sample questions, answers, and rationales; and new tables and algorithms. A new art program presents concepts and images—including an Appendix with 50 burn images—in full color for optimal learning and retention.
This is a very thorough book, and has a lot of interesting material in it. Our clerkship director made this book mandatory for the clerkship and he expected us to get through it in our 12 weeks on Surgery, but he has to be insane. I tried reading this book before I discovered Pestana…it is so dense and so full of completely low yield unimportant details for the THIRD YEAR MEDICAL STUDENT. I am only basing this review on what I think this book has to offer for the third years out there. This is the only reason I am giving this book 4 stars. It is a good book, but please do yourself a favor and just get Pestana if you are a medical student. I do not want to go into surgery, so this might also be influencing my review, so please be aware. Of the first 4 chapters that I did manage to read during my SICU rotation, I did learn some important details, but in that time I could have learned so much more clinically important material by reading Pestana…

The third edition continues to build on the extremely successful art program and the ‘Understanding’ feature and has an even more robust electronic support ancillary program to make both faculty and student learning easier and more successful.
Seriously speaking, if you’re interested in becoming a pathophysiologist, then this is the book for you. It’s a well-written book. However, it sometimes lacks clarity, and it’s verbose. That said, I was quite pleased with its content and thoroughness. I’m not one for a clunky, unwieldy magnum opus, often made up of 1,000+ pages. I opted for this book because of its online availability, using an access code. Note well: The e-search feature, on which I’m often dependent, is nonfunctional. I’m also dependent on an e-highlighting tool. Again, worthless. I contacted customer support, and this is what they said: ” … I apologize, but a persistent highlighting feature isn’t included on our website. [even though I PAID for it] VitalSource, a company that provides some of our books on their website, has a permanent highlighting system, but you would have to get access to the book on their site. If you have any additional questions … ” In other words, the producers of this book, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, have essentially passed the buck onto a company called VitalSource. Either that, or the customer service rep couldn’t be bothered. Either way, if you’re willing to put up with these inconveniences, then the content of “Essentials of Pathophysiology” is more than adequate, but if I buy a Cadillac without a heater or speedometer, the car still gets me from point A to point B, but the journey can be unnerving. Author Carol Porth, RN, MSN, PhD needs to focus on clarity. For a neophyte, the concepts are arcane as it is. Why confound the issue with superlative (sometimes useless) information? The reader is then left to decipher what is TRULY important (and make no mistake about it, what is important is indeed covered) from what is essentially … and with due respect … trivia, which is just enough to confuse rather than clarify. Everyone is a Hemingway wannabe. This book is 1,280 pages. Are these authors engaged in some unwitting contest to see who can write the most cumbersome, wordy, overwrought tome on the planet? “The Chinese have but one rule for writing – be clear.”
