Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I am an NP student about to graduate and have purchased this book for my reference library. I wish I had gotten it prior to now. It is excellent! Not only does it have algorithms to follow in for diagnosing, but it also has information about causes of abnormal test results, approaches to care and diagnosis, and basic information to add to your clinical knowledge. I also have Ferri's Best Test; although I like Ferri's, I love this book and find the size (pocket sized) and value of the information invaluable to my practice. Plus, you cannot beat the price. You will not find a cheaper lab book with as much information and usability as this one.
