Do you or a love one have labs tests?,
By White Lily "Suzie" (Fort Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Consumer's Guide To Laboratory Tests (Paperback)
If you or a loved one will have laboratory tests, this is a must read. When a doctor orders a test the report goes back to the doctor and he summarizes the results. Wouldn't you want to know before you have the test why your doctor is ordering the test, what to expect, what is normal? Then this is a must read. It is written in very easy to understand language that you can actually understand your own lab reports. Today, people need to be actively involved in their health care. This is the first big step.

A nice book to give an overview about laboratory tests. It exactly delivers what the title says. Not in a boring way, but precisely what a consumer needs to know.
