5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd year med students dream, August 31, 2005

Chad A. Ruechel - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests (Paperback)

As a 2nd year PBL (problems based learning) med student I have found this book to be excellent. It provides in depth information on many standard tests. It does a good job of integrating physiology and even explains false highs and lows.

5.0 out of 5 stars STAIGHTFORWARD, COMPREHENSIVE AND VERSATILE, January 22, 2003

reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests (Paperback)

Be it biochemistry, microbiology, chemical pathology, parasitology or radiography, this book assembled all the clinical techniques that an investigating scientist would need. It is comprehensive and versatile. Detailed information were provided sequentially.
Each section of the book describes all the relevant clinical procedures, using straightforward illustrations. Everything about it is practical.
It is a versatile manual which every clinician and lab scientist, (including trainees), would value very much.
And, it carries a reasonable price-tag.
