Dunno what I was expecting by Lisa M (Las Vegas, NV USA)  3 Stars
September 20, 2009
The publisher's description mentioned the book was pocket-sized, and a pocket-sized book by definition can't cover immunohematology and blood banking in depth. This book is probably meant more for interns and residents than laboratory personnel.

Excellent guide for all physicians by Deborah A. Borek 5 Stars
September 24, 2008
As transfusion medicine becomes more complex, it is impossible for clinicians, or even clinical pathologists, to keep abreast of the indications, risks, and expected benefits of blood transfusion. This manual is indispensable for all physicians who prescribe transfusions, for physicians in training, and for pathologists and pathology residents taking call for the Blood Bank. Dr. Plapp's excellent and concise guide deserves a place in the lab coat pocket of all physicians; it will be consulted frequently.

| The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginner's Guide to the Diagnostic Process
by Diana Weedman Molavi (Author)
In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. Unlike other medical disciplines, in which the skills of history-taking, physical examination, and assessment are nurtured from the first year of medical school, the practice of pathology bears little resemblance to the visual gallery of pattern recognition that is second-year medical school pathology. Few medical schools have required clinical rotations in pathology,...
