Hi, everyone: I started my step 2 prep 2 days ago with Boards & Wards (3 edition), just read the 1st nine pages, and found 3 mistakes in this book. 1.switched figure about heart block. 2.cannon a - canon a 3.tricuspid regurgition JVP curve. I'm not sure i m 100% right about those points, but this scares me a little bit, should i continue with this book, or it's just too early to judge it..... Could someone give me some advice on this book. Thanks in advance

just found this, haven't confirm it.... CORRECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE: 1. Table 1-33, Bart's is an abnormal hemoglobin composed of 4 gamma chains (not 4 Beta). 2. Table 1-37, IVIG is NOT a treatment for TTP but it IS a treatment for ITP. 3. Table 3-13, a benign tumor of the ovary is a cystadenOMA, NOT a cystadenoCARCINOMA. 4. Table 5-13, Dog bites that are "provoked" are LESS likely to be associated with rabies while unprovoked bites are more associated with rabies. 5. Table 1-15, Squamous cell carcinoma (not small cell as the book claims) is associated with hypercalcemia due to secretion of PTHrp. (
