Book Reviews of Neurology Recall (Recall Series)
Book Review: Good review of neuro, facilitates memorization
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the Recall series. I discovered it with Surgery Recall, and though I haven't had my surgery or my neurology rotation yet, I still find that I'm learning from both books. The recall books are organized as self-tests where a key word or question is given, and the answer is on the other half of the page, so you cover one half of the page, read the key word or question, and try to answer it, then check yourself and repeat if necessary until you know it inside out. It's an excellent way to cram the basics of neurology firmly into your head.
Some problems:
1- Some of the basics reviewed in the Neurology Recall book are a little too basic, which makes me not want to repeat certain pages even if there may be a challenging or important point mixed in with the easy stuff, but on the other hand, it certainly has quite a lot of information that I didn't know in it, and there's less of the basic stuff the farther I get into the text.
2- If you repeat a page enough times, it's easy to know the response based on the location of the question on the page or the question that came before it, rather than actually associating the correct answer with the question. One way to solve this is to cover up the questions and see if you can deduce the question by looking at the answer. If you have, you've actually learned it.
3- At least one typo in the mapping of the pharynx and lips to their respective areas in the motor cortex (Compare p.64 to p.65). Most books have some typos, so I recommend this book anyway, but hopefully there aren't too many more that I've missed.
I've paired this Neurology Recall book with Pretest Neurology and I feel that it's a great combination. Neurology Recall is good for pure memorization, while the clinical scenario type questions in Pretest Neurology provide context for some of the information you're memorizing. Pure memorization without context is not very conducive to functional use of the material you've memorized. Similarly, questions without learning the basics first don't necessarily make any sense, but learning the background and then using it by doing practice questions works very well.
Summary of Neurology Recall (Recall Series)
Designed with a symptom-oriented approach, the updated Second Edition of Neurology Recall is practical for both medical students and generalists who need a refresher course in neurology. The book is written by residents and clinicians and facilitates rapid review and memorization with a concise question-and-answer format covering the basic and specialized areas of neurology. You'll also find these features: small, portable size, affordable price, bookmark to help you self-test by covering the answers, and an extensive index.
