A 'BIBLE' to all the medical laboratory technologists ...5
This is one of the best book intown for medical laboratory workers.Other than providing the normal values and the procedures of all kind of test , this book also gives explanation of test , clinical implications , interfering factors, patient preparation , and aftercare .

A comprehensive , up-to-date diagnostic reference source not only for medical laboratory technologists, but also clinicians , educators and students .

A USEFUL DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE4
This elaborated lab manual is very useful for reviewing all the procedures currently employed in clinical laboratories. It covered all the important aspects of investigative medicine like: microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, pathology, haematology and histology.
"Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Testing" provides diagnostic guidance; as well as conclusive interpretation to every aspect of clinical lab investigations.
It is a manual, which both trainees and experienced practitioners should pay attention to.

Always the Best5
I started using Fischbach in Nursing School and was re-acquainted with it when I joined the Air Force. I have never found anything at all close to the quality of the content. I had a copy at the hospital until someone else recognized the quality of it for themselves. So I immediatly went out and bought another. I'm afraid I need another one at work. I don't mind everyone liking them. I just don't care to be the sole supplier to the world. I guess I will have to chain it to the inside of my locker.
Thanks
