User’s Reviews

Review -The extraordinary value of this book is that it enables clinicians to stay current with the newer modalities and details how to obtain the best information for the cost. This is a cost-effective addition to every clinician’s library and will benefit patients by limiting their exposure to tests that may not be the most effective in substantiating a diagnosis.- -Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP(Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences), Doody’s Review”The extraordinary value of this book is that it enables clinicians to stay current with the newer modalities and details how to obtain the best information for the cost.

⭐ This book is FANTASTIC!! It is so full of useful and relevant information while still being concise. This will definitely be one of my go-to books during my NP practicum.Edited to add: I pulled this out during my rotation and my preceptor (who is very experienced) loved it too!

⭐ I received this book this past week and was excited to use it. Upon opening it and trying to find information on bilirubin tests/blood levels, I came to the realization that my book is missing pages 145-176. It jumps from page 144 right to page 177. I hope to get a refund or a book that is properly put together.

⭐ I can’t say this book is bad, but it doesn’t give me the information I’m looking for. I want to know when to use contrast or not, or which tests will tell me what it looks for or it’s limitations. It gives some of that, but not enough, not practical when in the clinic setting. Also difficult to search in quickly

⭐ Two pages were printed (or inserted) upside-down and torn out of the spiral binding. Of course I didn’t discover this until past the return window.One star only because 0 stars wasn’t an option!

⭐ it has a brief description of each laboratory test but that’s about it. I thought it would’ve been more detailed and useful for clinical practice. Not what I was looking for, glad I rented it on kindle before thinking about making a purchase.

⭐ NIce to have for clinicals

⭐ What I could read was excellent. There are images for the algorithms that could not be read. I returned this electronic version.

⭐ EXCELLENT RUNDOWN Of INDICATIONS AND ALGORITHMSDONT HESITATE TO PURCHASE THIS

⭐ Explains new technologies while telling you which one to order.

⭐ Great resource for NP program clinical rotation. Helps organize your thinking when ordering tests.
