Our Review

I am a fan of the Case File books and the same can be said for this edition of neurology.   I do have some friends that are not fans of this particular text but I can seem to see their point.  I found that the cases were relevant and helpful.  I do not believe that any one text should be your study material for tests so maybe that is their problem.

I do not believe that the cases were overly easy.  I study a lot of material and yes I found the cases easy but no more easier than any of the other cases in other specialties.  I am not looking to be stumped rather be able to find the relevant clues in the passage to make the correct diagnosis.

I liked the book, found it interesting and would recommend it.
