1.0 out of 5 stars Reason Without Research, July 31, 2000

Sheila Clover - See all my reviews

This review is from: Procedures in Phlebotomy, 2e (Paperback)

The chapters looked promising but the content fell short. The author attempted to expand the variables of knowledge often offered up to the phlebotomist by adding chapters that included Complications of Phlebotomy, Phlebotomy Department Management and Total Quality in Phlebotomy Service. Unfortunately the research for even the basic chapters fell short and relied on antiquated methodologies, technologies, standards and accepted practices. The bibliography offered at the end of each chapter reflected the use of appropriate agencies and literature, but from standards or information accepted five or ten years ago. With the ever-changing winds of healthcare even last years information can be too old. I would not recommend this to students who are attempting to take their national certification. The information given does not necessarily reflect the answers you will need to give on the national test(s). Some of the information offered in this book was interesting and well founded but if you don't already know the answers you're left wondering which parts you can trust for their accuracy.

Yeah, the amazon is just the best to do business with when it comes to book, AMAZON is just the best.

Nice doing business with you!
