Book Reviews of BRS Gross Anatomy (Board Review Series)
Book Review: Good Stuff in There, but Hidden Amongst Irrelevant Material
Summary: 3 Stars
There are two things I liked this book for. First, I thought they did a great job of compartmentalizing muscles in the UL & LL, making it easier to learn origins, insertions, action, innervation...although adding artery supply to the table would be helpful (it is included in the text at least). For new med students, I feel you should know that memorizing these charts will pretty much guarantee you passing, & probably getting an A, on the UL & LL written exams. Secondly, I thought there were some great figures demonstrating the actual course of nerves & arteries in the Head & Neck chapter. This was very helpful, especially concerning nerves associated with autonomic ganglia.
The good stuff ends there. This book is way too thick to be considered a review source, it's essentially a gross text with less pictures & written in bullet points. The questions are much harder than anything you'll see on your exams or boards. It is nice to have online access to the questions, but the questions are really redundant. For instance, I think there were 6 questions about subdural hematomas & bridging veins. This is pretty typical of the questions: when they aren't way too difficult, they're incredibly redundant. Finally, the clinical correlations are ridiculous in number - there are too many low yield correlations & most of them aren't very well explained. Bottom line - borrow it from a friend for the UL & LL exams, & then again in H&N if you're having trouble understanding nerves & arteries in the head. Use Road Map for everything else.
