"Of the many laboratory manuals available, it's hard to find one that packs as much information into so few pages, yet is so user-friendly, as this one. This second edition could not come a moment too soon, considering the explosion of new testing confronting the practicing physician. Any physician who must make quick decisions with respect to patient testing will find this handbook extremely useful."
