Wonderful book--should be required reading by LDG in Montgomery (Montgomery, AL United States)  5 Stars
August 23, 2007
There is an enormous amount of info packed into this relatively small and easy to read paperback!!! Now in its second edition (fortunate, because my first edition text is pretty well worn from use & study), this book gets slightly larger but still should be required reading for any path resident while on the TransMed service----you can easily get through it in a month. I also found it a fantastic resource when studying for transmed boards (although that's been a numer of years ago for me). At the time, I'm pretty sure Dr. McCullough wrote many of the boards questions!!! hint, hint Now that I am in practice as a general pathologist, I still occasionally turn to this little book! BUY IT!

Really, Really, REALLY Good! by D. J. Chaffin (Greeley, CO USA) 5 Stars
March 23, 2005
This book, like the first edition, is a truly excellent review of basic concepts in Transfusion Medicine, with enough advanced concepts and details to satisfy pathology residents studying for board exams. Dr. McCullough has gone out of his way to produce a book that is as current as can be, reads easily, and is just plain stuffed full of practical and theoretical information! An added bonus is that since Dr. McCullough (a former editor of the journal TRANSFUSION) authored all but one of the chapters, the book does not suffer from the uneven writing that damages too many Blood Banking books. He is a terrific writer, and this is an outstanding book.

An Outstanding Review of Transfusion Medicine! by Jeffrey L. Winters, M.D. (Lexington, Kentucky United States) 5 Stars
April 27, 2001
This book is a clear and concise review of the major, and in some cases not so major, areas of transfusion medicine. It is well written with a very clear style. The content coverage is superb and the appropriate references are given allowing one to track concepts back to their source.Other books offer more in-depth review of the individual topics discussed but this book does the best job of evenly covering the major topics at a level appropriate for residents, fellows, and physicians interested in transfusion medicine. This book should be required introductory reading for all clinical pathology residents.
