Well ravi i recommended those books to karizma as a best peice of "advice" coz i used the same books and was "abel" to cover them n was a high acheiver !
N if I can do it why not karizma?? Normal human beings have got the same brains  lolzz
amazed you can recommend parik (does that seem a short coverable book to you ?? funny ! )

Ravi whats "Kdt" ??? even i don't understand that :p .
Btw,katz meant Basic and Clinical Pharmacology by Bertram G Katzung.I think you never have used this book in life so you don't know the correct name
Please next time advice others what you have studied Not what you just have heard of ! :p

good going man... having read such standard bukz wil be of lotta help 2 u in future... as far as 2nd yr s concerned,
For Path, ROBBINS is the bible... any exam u go for, dis buk s gonna save u.. n trust wen i say dat i haven seen such a beautiful text n ma lifetime..
for pharm, KD tripathi s ok.. but since u r tryin 4 USMLE, i think itz better if u go for Katzung n Lippincott
Micro.. For Indian exams, Panicker ll do.. but u need to study JAVETZ for USMLE prep...
FM.. donno a better book dan Narayanareddy...
Also try gettin USMLE notes for these subjects.. it ll help u a lot..
Al b best .. May u end up being de best!!!

I recommend Lippincott review-pharma
and Robbinns pocket companion(handbook)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Lippincott pharma is amazing; & very nice, and has its own approach for rapid and concise reading.
Also; what is related to pathology, as an MBBS student you have to know the pathophysiology of diseases, not to be a pathophysiologist!!!

i read
Satoskar for pharma in 2nd yr(it is a book frm which u will understand which drug to giv in wat condition exactly .... coz in 2nd yr students dnt have clinical orientation . KDT is very gd book but at the end of 2nd yr u will not be able to understand pharmacological treatment as a whole)
KDT is very good n standard book also . i read KDT in internship n for entrance .
for patho - actually thr r 3 robbins available in market .
the grandfather robbins is very big n is for pathologist. father robbins is for 2nd yr students. n one little handbook (not recommended for 2nd yr)
FMT = i read mostly Parikh-its a good book wid excellent toxicology.
plus wid parikh reading speed is almost 25pages/hr so u can cover parikh many times in 1.5yrs
few topics like firearms,burns,snakes must be read frm reddy or nandi
for toxicology Parrikh is the best(as such toxicology is very very volatile so better rmbr fe n imp thngs in each topic)
patho prac - book is available ...i think its harshmohan prac patho. dat is a must b4 practical..
micro prac also one book in available - very nice for agars n tests n staining . do read that.
parasito- arora is short easy lucid. wid lot of life cycles
dnt ever think of reading parasito chatterjee
general immunology frm anathanarayan
bacteriology (if found difficlut to retain frm anathnarayan - as it is all given in essay form widout ne highlights , then read bacteriology frm chakraborty)
chakrabory is very nice- nice presentation plus
it has at the end all approach to patients presenting wid diarrhoea,urti,uti,etc etc
my advise to all freshers is that on de one of any subject open question banks(bhalani) / old papers n see wat all Qs r asked previously n recently n then choose books etc

but KDT is must for entrance (but it is a book which u can master in ur internship also )
i personally didnt read robbins in 2nd yr ...i jst referred it for full questions. i read harshmohan but it had lot n lots of mistakes n contradictions ....
in our college we had weekly patho chapterwise discussions wid our profs so we cud correct sum points of harshmohan...
decide books on ur reading speed/ hw many times u need to revise for exam/ ur attn span/ ur daily hrs of reading

hellodear...cudn reply earler... KDT IS KD TRIPAHI...we all follow this book in hyderabad...and it is aa standard book... and what do u mean when u say i haven read that..... what u have to prove... make it clear...and pareek is such an intersting book..it is followed all over the world...u may be surprised but most of the mcqs come from it...it has good applicative knowledge,a book based on reasoning... thats what i can say...

Hi
My combination for 2nd year was:
Big Robbins
Pharmac - Laurence n Bennett, KDT, Katzung,
Micro - Anantnarayan, Harrison
Forensic - Reddy
Trust me I scored distinction in Patho, Pharmac and Micro
Laurence is like a story book.. U will never forget the fundas from that..
but KDT is the complete book..
Katzung doesn't contain many points about pharmac from our point of view..
Anantnarayan is the best book for Micro.. better than any other.. The next best is Harrison..
Jawetz is only for MLE
There is no replacenent for big Robbins
All the best

karizma.. hi
I will tell u one way which I think u will find useful
Whenever u see a section of drugs,.. for example.. antiseizure drugs..
First go and look up in medicine text preferably CMDT or Harrison or Davidson which is the drug of choice among all of them.. in this case valproate which is like a universal drug..
Then just read and understant that drug from as many books as possible..
Then u have to just compare the other drugs in the group with the DOC & remember the differences..
This will be time consuming but.. U will be amazed by this technique.. by what it can do..
All the best

Since all the books have already been mentioned:-
Tips to scoring well in your 2nd MBBS:
1. Take out the last 10 year board papers for 2nd year
2. Mark out all the repetitive questions
3. Learn the topics which are repeated most often - first
4. So on, so on..
P.S: If you can bribe a family member/ non-medico friend to complete your journal work/ records for practical for you, nothing like it. Will save you a ton of time!
