Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
In today's managed-care environment, where patient-education issues are emphasized by accrediting agencies, the fourth edition of The Patient's Guide to Medical Tests is very welcome. It explains over 1000 of the most common medical tests in alphabetical order, giving a description of the test, patient preparation, reference ranges, abnormal values, costs, and comments, which include special instructions or precautions. Though this consumer guide is not so exhaustive and complete as the excellent Yale University School of Medicine Patient's Guide to Medical Tests (LJ 8/97), each contains some tests not included in the other. Considering the modest costs, most health collections will want to purchase both volumes. Going one step further, Haessler, formerly a clinical professor at Harvard Medical School, has provided a basic reference for those who want to apply tests at home to verify their wellness status and the potential need for a physician's intervention in the event of symptoms or abnormal body functionings.The result is a solid addition to consumer health-care libraries.?James Swanton, Harlem Hosp.
