Interpretations: Celebrating The Music Of Earth, Wind & Fire
$9.49
In response to Jeffrey Byrnes review, it's "Shining Star" by Chaka Khan and NOT "September" which is performed by Kirk Franklin. Anyway, Chaka pretty much sticks to the original arrangement but she actually makes it funkier if that's possible and if ANYBODY can make it funkier it would be CHAKA. She also hits some astonishing high notes in an incendiary reading of this classic which makes it one of the best cuts on this album. The rest of the cd is also excellent.

Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, Sixth Edition
$38.00
This is a very very good book for the cardiology block! It gets you up to speed extremely fast and does it in a very simplified manner. Albeit he begins the book with UBER basics and treats you as if you're a complete and utter blank slate (aka grade school kid), he quickly speeds up around pg 100 and delves into the EKGs. He also does an excellent job in the first 100 pages explaining the basic reasoning of EKGs and how lead placement affects certain aspects of the EKG, such as axis deviation or location of cardiac lesions and abnormalities (certain findings in particular leads will point you in the direction of an anterior MI or right heart hypertrophy).

In my experience, reading this book was sufficient to understand EKGs, correlate them with clinical cases, and do well on my MS2 cardiology block. Of course, this book is very simplified in its approach to EKGs, so if you're going to be heading into cardiology or want more advanced knowledge and detail, then you probably want to consider something more advanced.

But for beginners and for a very firm yet rudimentary understanding of the principles and techniques to reading EKGs, I highly recommend this book.
