Matt1020 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hey all, I'm in UBCs medical class of 2017. We are moving into the pulmonary block, and just finished the cardio block. For cardio, I got the pathophysiology of heart disease by Lily which was an amazing book. Does anyone have any suggestions for a pathophysiology of respiratory system book that may be somewhat similar? Something that gets the job done, and is short enough that I can read the whole thing during the 5 week block. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Not necessarily a pathophys text, but I've always liked John West's respiratory physiology texts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooty Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 http://www.amazon.ca/Principles-Pulmonary-PRINCIPLES-PULMONARY-WEINBERGER-ebook/dp/B00DQR99S8 Brand new edition. It's short concise and cheap. It's not too in depth but is a good supplement with lectures and will prepare you well enough for pimping. Reminds me of lilys actually.

MaeFleur Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Not necessarily a pathophys text, but I've always liked John West's respiratory physiology texts. His "red" book is physiology and "blue" book is pathophysiology. They came to me highly recommended and having just gone through resp myself found them to be very useful. Pretty quick reads too. Dr. John West also has online lectures based right off the chapters of the books if you're a lazy person like me who likes that sort of thing. Here is the link for the red book lectures: http://meded.ucsd.edu/ifp/jwest/resp_phys/ And the blue book lectures: http://meded.ucsd.edu/ifp/jwest/pulm_path/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osteogeek Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 http://www.amazon.ca/Principles-Pulmonary-PRINCIPLES-PULMONARY-WEINBERGER-ebook/dp/B00DQR99S8 Brand new edition.

I'm also in first year, and a lot of us used Weinberger for Resp. We all liked it, and it's fairly cheap, which is also appreciated. I'd say it's fairly similar to Lilly in terms of depth/readability/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchEnemy Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Not necessarily a pathophys text, but I've always liked John West's respiratory physiology texts. West's text came highly recommended by the respirologist who taught us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I agree on West's. I read West's 2 days before our exam on resp and that was more than enough preparation. Very "high yield," as they say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holiday1001 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Harrison's. More pathophys detail than you'll need, but actually relevant stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doktor Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of West, tbh. It's very wordy and not nearly as concise nor clinically relevant as Lilly. I have a copy but I don't ever use it since it only further confuses me rather than explaining much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medaholic Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I also second West's respiratory physiology ... I mean the lung zones were practically named after him. The online videos is a nice supplement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
