Hematology in Clinical Practice

By Paulette Metoyer - January 20, 2013

The information is very basic and not much more than available in a general medicine text. Fails to provide more in depth information, which is what I expect from a text devoted entirely to a subspecialty.

Good review, not good for learning

By insertpennamehere - December 26, 2012

This book often uses terms without explaining them and makes early references to concepts or diseases that aren't covered until much later in the book. It is not a good way to learn hematology for the first time, but would probably make a good review or reference book.
