Not for Undergraduate Students by MT & MLT Teacher (USA)

Comprehensive coverage of blood banking and transfusion medicine. The appropriate audience is SBB students, medical students, pathology fellows and seasoned bench technologists in blood banking. The book is NOT geared toward the needs of undergraduate MLT and MT students due to the heavy details and complex text. Although the chapters are divided into basic and advanced sections,the students find the textbook difficult to follow. The number and variety of contributers impacts the cohesiveness of the chapters and the overall flow of the text. The book has nice color plates.
