An Essential book for clinical chemists and MT's! by Schadenfreude (Salt Lake City, UT)

The information contained in this book is highly extensive and plenty in depth, which is amazing considering that this is the "concise" adaptation of the longer Tietz Textbook. All working MTs would find this to be an excellent reference text. Although the language in this book is quite understandable, I don't see this as being "catered" towards students as a textbook given the depth of information, but more as a reference for working MTs/CLS's and lab staff. My recommendation for students would be "Clinical Chemistry" by Bishop, which gives plenty enough information to pass the registry exams.

This book is the Golden standard for Clinical Chemistry. I can tell you most of your laboratory procedures have at least some part derived from this book. Not to mention all the product insert for most of your clinical chem. I agree that this book will be quite overwhleming to first time reader during their training; but this is a indespensible book you need if you want to specialize in the Clinical Chemistry area. And obviously you find this book so precious that you won't sell it :)

This is definitively one of the best Clinical Chemistry books I know. At work I routinely need to consult information and this makes a great reference book to search for in depth explanations. Now, I don't feel this would be good for a student, I feel this book is a little dense and treats some issues in such a way that might be a little intricate for the first contact with them. I believe you need some practical work experience to really take all the juice out of it, though I don't mean I'm not recommending it to students. This is a great book to anyone, the only thing is I don't concieve it as a texbook (for this I'll better recommend Kaplan & Pesce "Clinical Chemistry", which is an easier reading while not compromising much depth).
