Customer Reviews

This is the most heavily consulted volume on my shelf as a nonclinical toxicologist. Once I had been trained well enough in the fundamentals (clinical pathologist mentorship and Meyer ; Harvey 3e, which I still regularly consult), I found the fourth edition of this text absolutely invaluable after I bought it a few years back. Once I found out the fifth was being written, it was all I could do to wait for it!
For those who are unfamiliar with the text (as one complaint reflected for the last edition), it follows a "dry" outline format: this is by design. It is an organization of often highly ambiguous or pleiotropic phenomena into a rational format for interpretation of clin path data- beautifully uncluttered. It is probably fair to say that it isn't intended as an introductory treatment of clinical pathology. For the latter purpose, scientists without clinical backgrounds should read the outstanding Chapter 26 of A. Wallace Hayes 5e, by Drs. Bob Hall and Nancy Everds. Especially if you have never had the treat of working closely with clinical pathologists.
Having received and exercised the fifth edition for several months, I'm very pleased that the transition to the new edition has been the result of seamless improvements. There was considerable updating and augmentation of content without losing sight of the volume's scope. For example, the chapter on erythrocytes has been substantially improved by Dr. Charlie Brockus, with expanded differentials and relevant tables.
Another benefit is that now I have the still excellent 4e at home for less frequent consultation there!
