4.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Health Care (Class), September 23, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Introduction to Health Care (Hardcover)

I purchased the book online for about half of the price it was available for in my schools bookstore. The book is packed with information on health care services. I know that should be obvious but as is the case with all of my other textbooks they give very scarce information in between lengthy, dry, discussions. Its small and easy to carry around.

I needed this book for an undergraduate class but will probably keep it well into my masters.
