I have been using this book, along with the ‘Big Daddy’ version for preparation for my surgical primary exams. In summary, it’s gold. No, it won’t tell you everything that the big book does, and certainly not as much detail as thicker texts like Ganong, but I think that is the real benefit of it. ALL IT HAS IS THE BASIC FACTS, and that is all you need to grasp the concepts and therefore answer most questions. If you are looking for a high distinction on your exams, then take a month off work and read Ganong. If you have less than a week and are trying just to pass, then ‘Baby Guyton’ is gold. Five stars.

My medical physiology course is extremely intense and there is no time to read all of the assigned reading in the textbook. Thanks to this pocket version of the text I am able to review chapters in half the time. I also recommend the textbook which provides detail description of figures that may not be covered in the pocket companion.

The book is very useful. The price was the best offer in all scenaries. The shipment was fast and responsible. I recommend to buy this book in amazon. com without any reservation.

Pretty good text and a must for serious advanced physiology students who are headed toward medical or advanced nursing/PA degrees. It helps to simplify and consolidate the immense amount of minute and detailed info stocked up in the big text.

This is a great because it’s not as large as the text yet contains the same info. I find it easier to follow compared to the text. I’m glad I ordered it.
