 What's up you guys it's Adonit. I'm gonna be talking to you guys about two must have books that you have to have if you're in PA school that will help you retain all of the knowledge that you're getting. Two amazing books that have helped me so far in my seven weeks in PA school. If you are in PA school and don't have these books yet or you're in your rotations and you don't have these books or you're thinking about applying to PA school or you've applied to PA school and you're you know expecting that you're gonna get in. I highly suggest that you guys invest in these books immediately. The both of them is under $100 so very very very very inexpensive for the quality of material that you are about to receive. Now the first book is this book Pants Prep Pearls. It is by Mr. Dwayne A. Williams. Oh my gosh guys this is this has been a lifesaver for me in my Med Practice class. That's the class where we learn about all of the probable disease that we're ever gonna see in our patient population. And this book just makes it so easy. It tells you the name of the bacterium or if there is a bacterium that is infecting your patient, what the name of the bacterium is, what the clinical presentation is. But it gives you all these little pearls you know like just kind of buzzwords on what you will see on the pants which is our certification test as well as just in the clinic. So let's say like you know you have this baby that comes in with a weak cry. Did you like my weak cry? But it's like a weak cry. There's flaccid paralysis. Then what you're gonna see, what your mind is going to go to, is botulism. And that's in here. It has weakness, flaccid paralysis, respiratory arrest. That is your clinical presentation. It tells you what to avoid or where you would get it in. So let's say you're doing your HPI, which is your history of the present illness. You're gonna ask them things like oh you know do you can? Does somebody in your family can? Has the baby eat some canned food lately? Because then that will point you towards the fact that maybe something was not properly canned and this clostridium botulin got into it and infected it and now your baby has botulism. And then it tells you how to treat it. Oh my goodness. This book is amazing. It talks about giving them antitoxins. You know you have to be aware that it is an equine derived antitoxin. So let's say I don't know if people are but I'm sure of some people might be allergic to horses. You can't give them this particular antitoxin. So it talks about all of that. It's amazing you guys. It has been a lifesaver. I am going through it right now for my derm diseases and infections and these pearls. Great. The greatest thing ever. Get this book. Dwayne Williams Pants Prep Pearls. It's the best thing. This is the second edition. This all-white book is the second edition. He does have the first edition which is blue and yellow. It's pretty much the same book. Just a few things have been added so you're not getting shorted either way. You know. And then this second book. This is a certification and recertification examinations for PA. Now this book is by Claire Babcock O'Connell. Guys once you learn what you had to learn in your I don't know what your your class is called but it's mine is medical practice. Whatever class you're learning about all these different diseases in. Once you've learned what you've had to learn in that class and you've gone through pants and you've kind of committed to memory all of the different pearls. This is where you could test yourself before you actually take the test. It has quite a few comprehensive exams that you can take. I don't know if you guys can see any of these but it has exams that you can test yourself with. You know learning about neoplasms. Let's say if you learned about a neoplasm. Now you're gonna go to that section in the book and test yourself on it and see where you're at. What your strengths are what your weaknesses are and that has really really helped me. It's amazing how much you don't realize how much you've learned. You know like you think that you're I'm still I'm only seven weeks in I'm just a PA student but I have learned so much and I have so much knowledge and that's because of these books and of course you know everything that I'm learning in school but these books help me actually committed to memory in a shortened way. So if you don't have them already, Pants Prep Pearls and Certification and Re-certification examinations for PAs. And look at what I found. This is from my endocrinology module. I don't know if you can see it but that's about the parathyroid. I like flow charts so this was my flow chart about what happens when the parathyroid is stimulated and what happens to parathyroid hormone and how it goes through the body and talks to the bones and the kidneys and gut. Oh gosh this just a little geeking out a little little nerd stuff for you but you'll learn it if you haven't already once you get into PA school and if you've already gone through PA school or you're currently in PA school and you've already done your endocrinology module you know what I'm talking about. Gotcha. For watching that was my seventh week of PA school. Join me again next week for my eighth week of PA school. I will let you guys know how my test tomorrow goes. I'm gonna be pantsing it up. I'm gonna be going through that book making sure that I know all of my dermatological disorders like areosyphilis. That is always similar to cellulitis but caused by different bacteria and highly demarcated borders. Yeah just something that I learned. I'll let you guys know about that next week how I did.
