Adequate intro for us non-specialists by Y

As an ID doc who seems BMT, I was looking for a "BMT for Dummies" book to make sure my fundamentals were sound, and to have as a resource for the ID fellows. This fit the bill reasonably well, with definitions for a lot of basic concepts and procedures. It gives the basics of most aspects, from indications, the mechanics of matching and transplanting, complications, and infections. I've given several chapters to the fellows, who liked them and felt that it filled in important gaps in basic knowledge. I haven't gotten feedback whether the onc fellows like it. This small book does not pretend to have the true depth needed for a real practicioner. The target audiences I picture might be the following: - Consultants who need to understand the process better - Heme/onc fellows beginning their rotations - Nurses, NPs, PAs who are just beginning to work with HSCT patients and need a place to start. The 4/5 rating comes from a general sense of adequacy, but I can't find many specific complaints. It needs updating in cord blood transplants. The ID chapters seem a bit short, but I'm biased. I felt this was a good supplement to Dowden et al. "Transplant Infections" to round out the BMT ID experience.
