Review :
"I am very happy that I agreed to review this textbook. I have been looking for a text for my Medical Laboratory Procedures for about three years now and I have not been happy with any of the ones I have found. This text seems to encompass what I have been looking for in a text."Mary Elizabeth Browder, M. Ed., Raymond Walters CollegeUC Blue Ash/ Cincinnati, Ohio "I have enjoyed using the previous editions of this text because my students feel comfortable with the layout and material presentation. The reading is presented in a way that does not pressure the student with an overload of information in any section. It is also easy for instructors since the smaller sections can be rearranged as needed and assignments can be any size desired. This is a great text for introducing students to the clinical laboratory. I highly recommend this text."Ernest Dale Hall, MA Ed. MT(ASCP), Southwestern Community College/ Sylva, North Carolina
