Content wise, I couldn't comment much versus the past 2 editions since I haven't read it from end to end but I use it as reference for anything Pedia-related.
If you're a Bookerly fan, it's great with this book too. I can read/ study from my Kindle for hours. The only draw back is I can't doodle as much as I want to (like add drawings, arrows, encircle figures, etc.), even if the ebook allows annotations.
I highly recommend this ebook for travelering MDs/ medical students who just can't stop learning for their patients.
BUT when i went write this review i noticed that i bought this book last week for $188 and now it is $128 WHAT!?!?!
An hour after i contacted amazon, they refunded the $60 WOW! NOW EVERYTHING IS 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
