Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine (Clinicians Guide Series)



excellent overview5
As a physician I have referenced many books on laboratory medicine. This is by far one of the best for providing a concise,understandable, and more importantly, practical means of understanding laboratory tests and their clinical relevance.

A Great Book to Learn From5
Dr. Desai's book is thorough and well organized; a fantastic reference to help you work through case studies and patient admissions. It is most useful for meticulous internal medicine patient write-ups. I highly recommend it to all med students, especially those going into the clinical years.

Required for class ... 2
This book was required for a class and while the information that is covered is very thorough, they seem to leave many other things out. There is also a lot of page jumping to follow information. Definitely would not be my first choice.
