    this book kinda looks awesome to me. i ve 'got general principles ,,it's the first year and i'm the guinea pig but seriously it has the embryology, physiology, pharmacology, radiology, etc all in one place.nad about this "organ sytem" i think i may just get it. i guess i'm into overkill since i mainly want it for and this book looks like a nice comprehensive review of second year. It'd be something nice to read as a brief refresher before books are great. well written, wish i had them at the start of year one. There is a binding issue with organ systems. and a TON of ERRORS. typically with diagrams imported from other sources. The neuro section references Kendal so you could probably get by with out it(not that you need it in the first place).
