Summary: Great for quick review
Comment: Our syllabus for the respiratory course was pretty poor. I found this book to be a great, quick review for respiratory physiology with pictures/diagrams that were really helpful for solidifying important concepts. I'm definitely going to hang on to it to study for boards...
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Good Enough
Comment: I used this book to study pulmonary during my second year of medical school. It was a good book and it helped clarify a lot of the physical mechanics behind ventilation. However, I felt like it was very wordy. I like the "a picture is worth a 1000 words" approach to learning, so I felt that the paragraphs were too wordy and that the graph's captions did not explain enough. However, it was extremely helpful and a great study guide.

Summary: Great Intro for First Year
Comment: I bought this book for 5 bucks online and read it cover to cover in 2 days before the exam on pulm phys. Its a great, short book that encapsulates everything you need to know. Our lecturers ripped diagrams and concepts straight from the text.
Customer Rating:
Summary: No answer explanations!
Comment: I am really distracted by this - I have the current (eighth) edition and it says on the back and on the description here that the end of chapter questions have full explanations for all answer choices, which I value. Yet the appendix at the back is just an answer key with no explanations at all, just letters. This is really distracting to me, I keep thinking they must be somewhere! But it's not that big of a book. They totally aren't there, they aren't anywhere - it makes me not trust anything this book says, if they're going to screw that up so blatantly.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too complex
Comment: I got this book free from a friend. This book was too complex for me in med school and is still too complex for me as an intern interested in Pulm Medicine. Stick with your school's curriculum to understand the concepts as best you can, like I did. I read reviews for another book entitled Respiratory Physiology: A Clinical Approach (Integrated Physiology) by a different author. I was so impressed by 10 5-star ratings for this book, I decided to purchase it now to regain better insight into pulm physiology. I wish I came across this book while in school. I'm purchasing it today, will go through it this June, and write a thorough review for it. As for John West's book on pulm physiology, save your money.
