Healthcare Finance: An Introduction to Accounting and Financial Management, Fifth Edition PDF

I graduated from University of Maryland, and then from Physical Therapy school at UMD Baltimore, and after 7 years of post secondary education I've never had a textbook that has made me as frustrated as this book. I'm working toward an MBA/MHA and the professors are having us use this book. I hate it. It's poorly organized, provides poor explanations, and has very few charts and tables for learning the actual numbers behind all of the concepts (the charts and tables that are provided are in black and white). Even our professors (some of who have met Gapenski before) say they don't like the book, and that there are many errors in it. I know there are plenty of errors, especially in their math, because they've cost me lots of extra time while working through exercises. I feel like I could have learned twice as much from a textbook that was better organized, had less errors, and included supporting numerical charts and tables.
I would never wish is book on anyone again, or even think or recommending it. If your professor wants to use it, beg him, plead with him or her not to use it

In the class half of the assignments we couldn't even use this book for because there were no examples to match what we had to do. More of the assignments were based on scenario's and excel spreadsheets and websites the professor sent to us. Very hard to understand as well. Especially if you never had introduction to financing.
