good content - bad book.......2007-04-20

This book has great content and was used in my fourth year of medical technology studies. However, it gets a two star rating because after about two weeks of solid use the binding falls apart and pages come unglued from the seam and fall out.

Great resource!.......2006-07-29

This text book has a little of everything. A great book to keep on your desk when you need a brief overview of something in the lab. It's sort of like all of your college sophmore math/chem/biology texts condensed into one book.

A really great companion........2004-07-03

It would had been great to have this textbook with me while in my school years. It is always a delight to consult Kaplan's text, since it covers most of the lab issues with enough depth. The illustrations are not colored, but they are still pedagogic. Also, the text is enriched with lots of tables that I have found really useful. Besides this new edition is accompanied with a CD (which to be honest I haven't explore deeply). My opinion is that of a professional which has had to reference by work demands, I'm no student, but as I said before this would have made a great companion.

this was a very helpful book for me throughout medical school. it explored all aspects of everything we covered in classes, plus other intresting subjects. i could refer to it whenever i had questions on lab tests, and the answers were always there. Scott Traub's "Basic Skills in Interpreting Laboratory Data" is i must buy for any medical school student. :)

Book Description

Now in full color, this market-leading text has been updated and streamlined! New to this edition, author Mary Louise Turgeon maintains the book's clear, simple writing style, but condenses the material to include only the most relevant information. The text provides both a fundamental overview of the field of clinical laboratory science and a discipline-by-discipline approach to each of the clinical lab science areas. It stresses laboratory skills and techniques throughout -- providing the general background knowledge necessary for working in a clinical laboratory and performing routine clinical laboratory tests.

Guide Still a Great Reference.......2007-01-11

Bear in mind the book was published in 1992. But the text has withstood the test of time. It's a wealth of information for pesticide educators that can now be supplemented by on-line information. To give you a clue, I don't plan to sell my used copy because of the extensive pesticide-specific data, and the excellent articles I can't find anywhere else. A tribute to Rachel herself.
