I'm just wondering for those that have used Blackwell's underground clinical vignettes series, do you find them useful for Step 1?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I had friends and family act the vignettes out. You'll be surprised how much fun it can be, for them too. AND you'll get used to hearing them say "that's what I have!" (when you're reading about Chagas' disease or Legg-Calve-Perthe's Syndrome). There'll even be some sad moments when you go through the 10-year old girl with rabies who's beyind treatment ("is there nothing we can do? Is she going to die?")
Have them read the words in bold and see if you can guess the diagnosis from just buzz-words.
I don't know, they are kind of expensive but they are diffrent and good for those times when you're sick of everything else. I bought mine used on amazon. You can get them for 5-10 dollars there.
(This refers to the 2nd edition, btw).
