Summary: if you work for hematology, must buy!
Rating: 4
If you work for hematology, this book is so nice to learn the basic line. I think the way of learning the basic line is the most important part for the medical students and residents. Of course, you must learn the latest things more with the internet. Sometimes this book is not enough for you, but with internet, it is quite enough.
Review
“The book summarizes general facts, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of the main hematologic diseases and also provides detailed chapters on the normal processes of hematopoiesis, leukocyte function and coagulation. It is particularly strong in its coverage of benign hematology. The tables and figures are invaluably helpful and the color plates couldn’t be better. “This is an excellent book, full of condensed but easily understandable information. Compared to my other “portable” book…this book is far more detailed and much easier to read.” (Doody’s )
“Individual chapters well organized. This excellent and logical level of organization quickly directs the busy physician searching for an answer to a particular diagnostic or management question tot he most pertinent paragraphs.” (Journal of the American Board of Family Practice ) –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
