5.0 out of 5 stars Great Comprehensive Review
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2012
Verified Purchase
I really liked this book. I highly recommend it! I used it to study for my medical school rotation COMAT/shelf exam, and I feel it really helped me get a good score. The book is concise but covers a broad range of topics and disease states. It gives key symptoms or features of each disease state, lab results, and treatments. It lists important test clues in the columns.

The best feature of this book is that the disease states that you learn about are not just realevent to pediatrics but to adults as well. It's really like an overall review of everything you studied for Step 1 boards in a condensed version. I used the notes that I took from this book to study for my Step 2 boards for not only the pediatrics section but for all the various body systems as well. Diseases discussed in this book affect the pediatric population, but they also affect adults. I felt this book was a great comprehensive review for boards (COMLEX).

4.0 out of 5 stars A lot of info in one place

For my Peds Clerkship it was a useful book with a lot of info, but I found there to be too much info at times. I expected it to be more of a quick review book. As usual I think I used the case files and usmle easy questions mostly for the rotation. The First Aid Peds was more supplemental to jog my memory for a lecture topic and of course I used a text for the details that were not in the first aid book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Paediatrics Clerkship / MBBS in the UK
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2012

I bought this book for a Paeds clerkship in the USA. It was very useful as it is quite detailed in comparison to some books we use in the UK. The format is good, easy to read with little blurbs on the side for important things to remember. It helped me with my rotation in the UK as well, however some things will differ slightly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2010

Pros:
1. very readable outline format.
2. covers a lot of pediatric issues and diseases.
3. more integrated mini-cases were added to this edition.
4. silly looking sketches inside the book were replaced with more professional drawings, and the cover looks prettier now with the picture of smiling freckly girl on it. :)

Cons:
1. sometimes too simplistic and superficial. hematology is especially weak - Diamond-Blackfan Anemia is mentioned only as a differential diagnosis for Transient Erythroblastopenia of Childhood, and Fanconi's Anemia - only as something which should be distinguished from Fanconi Syndrome. treatment issues need much more detailed discussions - for example, no mention that treatment for tuberculosis follows 2 months + 4 months guideline (though its more 'advanced' sibling 'First Aid for the Pediatric Boards', 1st ed., doesn't provide any info about tuberculosis at all, except for PPD interpretation).
2. some typos or factual errors:
on page 450 says that stage 4 of Neuroblastoma is 'self-limited with good prognosis'. that's wrong - stage 4 is the most advanced and incurable stage. it's stage 4S which is 'self-limited with good prognosis'. so, they somehow managed to lose this important 'S' between previous and current editions.
on page 559 under the heading 'Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder' gives definitions for obsessions and compulsions, and then goes on to describe diagnosis, signs and symptoms, and treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, never mentioning the name 'Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder' itself. so, you're getting a nice mix of these classically confused psychiatric disorders.
3. there are some redundant repetitions - for example, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is covered twice, in different chapters; the same about Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.
4. needs more illustrations.

1.0 out of 5 stars A true waste of $$$
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2016

This book was horrible. It's shame that they put the First Aid name on it because I chose Master the Boards over First Aid Step 2 because this book was so unhelpful. Half the things I attempted to look up weren't even in here.

Not to mention the fact that charts seem like they put them together in a random order. Literally, no rhyme or reason on the few charts I looked at.

A true waste of $$$

2.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a weak book in an otherwise fine series of books
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2014
Verified Purchase
Poorly organized. This book is rich in information (though not all correct), but the layout is obtuse and not conducive to aiding in reasoning. The style makes it challenging to think in terms of patient presentations and differential diagnosis, rather it superficially separates similar diseases, not drawing on any strategy to differentiate them. Definitely a weak book in an otherwise fine series of books.

Great book for boards prep. A little dense for the COMAT. Good to have as reference when doing questions. Does have diseases not common to kids where they specifically state "very rarely seen in children but..."
