Which medical textbook do you recommend?

[hypnotel]

I really like the Basic Histology by Junqueia and Carneiro

That is also my favorite piece concerning Histology, but there is a German version too.

Nevertheless you're quite right to doubt Zoidberg's superiority theory, just my 0.02 €

Thats definitely NOT true. (but its not wrong either)(depends on the book).

I really like the Basic Hsitology by Junqueia and Carneiro and also the
Textbook of Biochemistry by Thomas Devlin.

Some other book I read...well I could not recommend them, they were just crap....like House of God....

i've heard house of God is pretty good though, but obviously not as a medical text
book

The german translation of the Junqueira is not very good, because the translators added a few more things that really complicated the text and the informations.

And I dislike House of God because everybody (especially the radiologists) think, that its a bible for german hospitals.
It is NOT.
Its for amercan hospitals.

Wasn't aware of that, thanks for adding.

Taking HOG as a bible - that could explain some (German) doctors being quite apart from reality. It's a cocainist farce after all.

Accoriding to John Updike's preword the House of God was written to show the working conditions for Interns in the 70s, or not?

And IMHO it's written in a very satiric way, so the reader has to interpret the story, for example: the anal mirror.
