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

smiling face

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.confused(
