I would purchase books from this seller again. Thanks! Rating - Ughhhhhh! This book is useless. I only bought it for school and once I was able to sell I back I ran this thing back to the book store to get rid of it. Rating - Amazon Books As usual, the book I purchased "Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic & Laboratory Tests" arrived right on time, in perfect condition. Amazon has a tremendous selection, fair pricing with the ability to purchase "used" books. I have purchased "used" books and have been totally satisfied and the description that is given about the condition of the books is an added bonus!! Thank you Amazon.com for all of your services!! Rating - Perfect for Med School I purchased this book after looking at a friend's copy. Its great for figuring out what test results actually mean (especially for CBCs and BMPs). It breaks down every test, what its used for, when to order it - and what it means when high or low. Great reference for anyone in the medical field. ps -I saw 3 copies of this book in the ICU the other day... see more reviews See all books by author Kathleen Deska Pagana, Timothy J. Pagana
