Index.
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!By derek141
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!
I've been using the hardcover version of this laboratory reference book for many years and it is my "go to" book for trying to interpret abnormal values on laboratory tests. Since I work at many different clinics I've been carrying the book around with me. Just got a new Kindle Fire HD and was excited to download the Kindle version so I wouldn't have to haul the book around anymore - but discovered the Kindle edition has NO PAGE NUMBERS. This means the index in the back (which is where I always start my search) is useless. You can't look up "albumin" and then go to the page which will give you differentials for low (or high) albumin. And if you try typing in what you're looking for in the "search" function, most of the searches find nothing. (For instance, I typed in "phosphorous" to see where it was discussed in the book and the search came back "no matches found.") Plus who wants to waste time typing out long medical words?By L. Jack
In short, the Kindle edition is useless unless you just want to do some general reading through the chapters (which I personally don't have time to do). I wish whoever published it to Kindle had thought of how the book is actually used!
