4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful for pathology residents, August 14, 2003

This review is from: Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods (Hardcover)

I rate this book a "4" as it's essential reading for residents in clinical pathology. A large number of the pathology board questions come directly from this book, making it necessary reading. It's also VERY dry reading, even for a pathology textbook. After reading this book you'll be ready from something comparatively exciting, like watching paint dry. However, due to its importance in studying for the boards, I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm no pathologist and I love it., July 2, 2004

This review is from: Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods (Hardcover)

I'm a chemist and in my practical experience in the laboratory I have to say this is probably the best text you will find if you are a analytical reader. Of course, this book is not written with a enjoyable style, but if you bear to read it carefully and really analize the details, you will not regret the effort. This is great for reference and if it wasn't so dull in style It will make a great job as a textbook too, besides this is a classic.
