The format is probably the biggest difference. 2nd ed is bullet points; 3rd is prose in paragraph form. I prefer bullet points and used 2nd ed to study for boards, and I did just fine... go with the format that suits your learning style best.

edit: just realized you said phys, not path. the above applies to path (and maybe to phys too?)

I agree, there isn't much difference at all. I used 2nd edition to study because I didn't want to shell out more $ for the newer one. My gf has the 3rd edition and it matches up pretty much the same based on info alone. I wouldn't go out and buy the 3rd edition if you already have the 2nd.
