Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) Perfect for Med School [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I purchased this book after looking at a friend's copy. Its great for figuring out what test results actually mean (especially for CBCs and BMPs). It breaks down every test, what its used for, when to order it - and what it means when high or low. Great reference for anyone in the medical field. ps -I saw 3 copies of this book in the ICU the other day...2) Even a layperson can understand this [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law who is graduating from medical school in May. He requested this book. When it arrived, I started looking through it and found it very interesting and easy to understand even though I have no medical background. If you're looking for something that explains medical tests, this is very clear and informative and since doctors themselves use it, I would assume it is accurate.3) Nice section on high & low level indications. [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Unless you really know what your looking for it is hard for the 'newby' to locate the lab/test that you want to review. However, there are three different ways to go about locating the lab/test. Once you find the lab/test the details are quite good; with a nice explanation of what increased levels mean & what decreased levels mean.4) Great help for MTs :) [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I bought this book because I am an MT, and sometimes it can be hard to understand what the docs are saying. When they mention certain diseases and we can't understand the lab work they are ordering, this book becomes very helpful! It's a book I definitely don't want to be without.5) Mosby's Lab and Diagnostic Guide [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Great reference guide--my nurses love it and put it to frequent use in the office clinical setting.
