So I've been reading the forums, I'm currently in pre-med, hope to apply to med school soon.

However I've wanted to do research before I get in about various specalities and what not.

I read on this forum about "medical student's survival guide" By Steven R. Polk, however I've had a hard time finding it. What intrested me is that it covered all aspects (of course in his opinion) of a specality, stress, workload, what kind of stuff they do, life stye they hold, hours, type of paitents they deal with etc.

Like I said I haven't been able to find it, is there a reason for that? Are there any other books similar to this? Although I am in Canada, and numerous things MAY be different, I still want to read about it 🙂

Thanks

Daemos,

I was thinking about getting that book too. You can find it on Amazon.com....but it's $57.55! 😱 I hope it's worth it.

I use this website a lot. Cheapest price here is ~$40 (including shipping) for the latest edition (4th ed)

Also, the 3rd ed is much cheaper.
