Hi..I do UW recently after reading kaplan lecture notes.
i think Kaplan doesn't have enough explanation for several UW questions. (especially some of workup and managements)
what kind of reference book do you use for it?

My friend recommends me 'Step up to medicine','Merck manual' which i don't prefer much.

I use google search frequently. it takes time so i want conside book mostly for 2CK.

Thanks in advance.

I agree, Most of the answers for UW questions can be found in CMDT. Sometimes, I wonder if the questions were written from text in CMDT.
