Alright I have reached a new point in my life where I am reviewing a textbook on the app that is supposed to prove to myself that I have time for leisure。 Why？ Because I read this whole thing front to back。Very very useful and will stick with me。

it could be the most simple text in critical care medicine 。。 it's more like story reading without any complicated heavy points 。。。 it could be the most simple text in critical care medicine 。。 it's more like story reading without any complicated heavy points 。。。 。。。more

Board preparationRe-reading this book for board preparation， a couple of things stand out。 Marino is excellent at challenging dogma and supports understanding the correct reasoning for medical pathophysiology。 I find the style to be very readable and succinct。 However， the editor of the kindle edition （am reading on an iPad） needs to be fired。 There are typos， inaccurate figures/tables， and just plain odd typesetting that is quite distracting。 Hopefully this will be corrected in future editions Board preparationRe-reading this book for board preparation， a couple of things stand out。 Marino is excellent at challenging dogma and supports understanding the correct reasoning for medical pathophysiology。 I find the style to be very readable and succinct。 However， the editor of the kindle edition （am reading on an iPad） needs to be fired。 There are typos， inaccurate figures/tables， and just plain odd typesetting that is quite distracting。 Hopefully this will be corrected in future editions as I cannot imagine I am the only person reading this on an iPad。 。。。more

I read the 4th edition。 Introductory textbook for critical care medicine if you are interested resident or at the begging of your fellowship a lot of basic science。 I like the historical link and the sayings at the start of each chapter。

This is the single best medical book I have ever read。 If you are a doctor， no matter your specialty， you should read it。

I love this book。 Best nursing book I've ever owned （and I own quite a few）。 I consult this book regularly。 Highly recommend it for any ICU nurse who always likes to ask "why？"。 I love this book。 Best nursing book I've ever owned （and I own quite a few）。 I consult this book regularly。 Highly recommend it for any ICU nurse who always likes to ask "why？"。 。。。more

So incredibly readable， Dan Marino has got real talent。 This should be required reading for any IM resident or physician。

Marino is awesome and tells it like it is。

This is an excellent book。 People going to the hospital should carry one of these even if they cant read it。 All nurses should have a copy。

Okay I know this is pretty geeky， but it is a must read for my profession。 Actually I found this book very readable。 The topics are huge， but the chapter sizes are manageable。 I could come home from a busy day in the ICU and read a chapter to two to learn WHY I did what I did that day。 This is a book I will return to frequently during the rest of my residency and fellowship。

Well， basically I added this one because I have been using it and will probably continue to use it as a nurse in the Cardiovascular ICU。 Unless you're a nurse or you really want to know a lot of pointless info about what's going on in an ICU environment， I don't recommend this to the layperson。 However， if you are a health care professional， this book provides a lot of information and is easy to understand if you understand nursing and the ICU setting。 Well， basically I added this one because I have been using it and will probably continue to use it as a nurse in the Cardiovascular ICU。 Unless you're a nurse or you really want to know a lot of pointless info about what's going on in an ICU environment， I don't recommend this to the layperson。 However， if you are a health care professional， this book provides a lot of information and is easy to understand if you understand nursing and the ICU setting。 。。。more
