prior to LU 5, I feared for my med education since I wasn't using Harrison's and the other med books during LU4. I often hear that the reason why other med schools fare well in the boards is because they were able read these. That fear is now gone. I am learning to appreciate the design of the curriculum. As we encounter patients, we are forced to read about the diseases (and yes, I use the plural) the patient has. Due to the variety of patients we encounter, we get to go through Harrison's, Nelson's or William's one way or another. And  the design treats us as graduate students who should take a proactive role in our education.
