very nice book for UG and PG students

    Good one-combo explained below
  

*by A***U on Reviewed in India on June 2, 2021*

It's a good one for University exams.But do buy guyton or ganong with it,since University is not the end and we ought to be good doctors.Guyton is good for knowing fundamentals in a well written style for easy understanding,but it is vast as a newspaper.Ganong is crisp and up to the point because it is a review book.But to follow ganong would be difficult for a first year student,it's ideal for pg;if one can then ganong is the best combo with sembulingam,else go for guyton+sembulingam.😊.Be happy and study well.Hare krishna 🙏
