Maintaining the acclaimed casual writing style that made the first edition so well- received, the Second Edition now offers more coverage of pathophysiology and is reorganized to more closely mirror the teaching trends in foundational courses across the country. Punctuated by humor, unique case studies that link pathology to real world clinical applications, and absorbing tales from the history of medicine, this proven book focuses on the patient as it guides students through the causes and consequences of common diseases. New and Unique Features: 3 NEW! Case Notes sections provide case-related questions that pertain to the relationship between the opening case and the topic at hand. Answers are posted online. Answers to the end of chapter Challenge questions are available only to the instructor. 3 NEW! Pop Quiz sections at the end of each major chapter heading include short, straightforward questions designed to solidify student knowledge while it is fresh and readily available by quick restudy.
