Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple 6th Edition

If you are taking these classes you already know there is a ton of material, especially for the micro parts. This book has a ton of pictures, tables, and such to help you remember the stuff. This helped me a lot during my MLS courses.

I feel like a nerd because I actually enjoy reading this clinical microbiology book! Not only does this book offer valuable and updated information, but it’s also fun to read with all these hilarious tricks to help with my aging memory. I wish we had this book back in the days of med school.

Easy to read and understand

This is an excellent book. I would highly recommend it to students studying microbiology

👌

I hate to be the contrarian... but I do not think this book is good anyone trying to learn clinical microbio on a first go around. And even then, I don't think it's the best book for review either. I am finding deja's review to be much more useful.Personally, I found the cartoons not very helpful. Okay, they're goofy and funny but I thought they were annoying especially when I was trying to actually learn specific details. The material is still very dense regardless of how "simple" it's been made here. There is still large tables of information. Learning from tables is very difficult, at least for me.I guess what I wanted was Goljan but for microbio... Maybe that's my fault... In any case, there's my two cents.

Good quality for a class required textbook.

I used this during micro. It is ridiculous, but I will say that you will never forget "measles brand paint" (measles rash) or "gang of cycles knocking off the blood cells" (ganciclovir myelosuppression) months after reading this book.I studied plant pathology and microbiology as an undergrad however that gave me very little advantage in microbiology. In my opinion, microbiology is very abstract for most medical students since it is not feasible to teach medical students basic science microbiology and in all honesty its not relevant unless your going into ID. However, this book will teach you the most highly tested topics in a very memorable way.However, if you don't have a sense of humor and are the kind of person that likes reading Boron physiology over Costanzo physiology... this probably isn't for you.
