Book Reviews of A Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests
Book Review: Disappointing....
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought this book was going to be comprehensive. Instead, it seems at times superficial and outdated. I will give an example: The book claims that total T4, FTI, total T3, and TSH are the most useful tests for hyperthyroidism. You must be kidding? What about Free T4? You think total T3 is more important than free T3 in determining thyroxicosis that has a normal free T4? Frankly, I have no faith in this book. Maybe this is enough information for a nurse, but if you are a physician, look some place else. Don't make decisions based on some statements in this book because you'll be sorry. I'll be looking for a better book on lab tests!
