Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology is a textbook in Physiology originally written by William Francis Ganong.[1] The first edition was published in 1963,[2] and the latest, 26th, edition was published in 2019, more than fifty years later than the first.[3] The current edition consists of seven sections and written by Kim E. Barrett, Susan M. Barman, Heddwen L. Brooks and Jason X.-J. Yuan.[4]

After a lecture, Ganong offered medical students 25 cents for each mistake that they could find from his book. He nearly went broke paying them off. [5] He always carried index cards and noted new informations he found out to keep his textbook remarkably up-to-date. [6]
