this was the sequence i used to study when i was preparing for UGs
-start with general medicine and read out the finer details.these are the topics we don't even see and many questions come from them
-read symptomatolgy of all the systems.symptomatolgy will make u think and correlate.if u're good here then 50% of ur work is already done.
-start with CVS-->Hematology-->Pulmonology-->Gastroenterology-->Endocrinology-->skin-->Renal medicine-->Neurology-->Psychiatry .
-keep the volatile subjects in the end.
-harrisson has discussed everything in detail except Tropical medicine which is not as deep as it should be.its an american book and though they have put light over global medicine they're bound to bias with the diseases more prevalent in the Americas than the rest of the world.so along with harrisson ur best companion would be hutchinson,prep manual,handbook to continuously revise the tpoics that are bound to be forgotten and PSM textbook Park.
-along with harrisson one should read Davidson and API as these books are not only concoctions from Harrisson but also make the understanding of the subject clearer.
i think that would be enough about how to start.
ciao.
enjoy medicine with harrisson.

Thanks thats a good work up and schedule.I think even better would be to read such books with interest rather than retrograde as new topics are being asked.Although this is time consuming one has to try it out.For remembering the facts one has to keep on trying out mneumonics.

thanks.
its time consuming but it works.couldn't do mnemonics coz they seem to be very confusing atleast while solving mcqs.
retrograde studying is impossible for me.
ciao

Well the 16th Edition is a revolution it makes harrison atleast 50 times more readable than the previous edition. The look it self says a lot about the new edition you should go check it out especially when you are just finishing 2nd year.

The matter however may be more or less the same in both the books from a undergraduate point of view.. I would say if you can afford it buy it.. or else read from the old edition...

Other books for sugery for details see other forums.. to name some there are Das A Concise text book of surgery, SRB Manual of surgery.
