Clinician's Guide to Lab Medicine (3rd edition) Author: Samir P. Desai
You prop your legs up to relax. It's 9 AM and you have finished your note on Mr. Smith. "No more worries until attending rounds" you mutter to yourself. The phone rings. It's the lab. "We just got Mr. Smith's sodium back and it's 122." You look for your resident but he's off to morning report. Grabbing your Saint-Francis guide, Wash manual, Ferri's, or Pocket Medicine, you spring into action. With one hour before attending rounds, you have no time to lose because you know your attendng is going to ask you about the work-up of hyponatremia. As you look through your handbooks, you are able to find the differential diagnosis but the list of possible causes is overwhelming. Why can't there be an easier way of approaching abnormal lab tests? Well, there is. It's called the Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine and it's the only book that can lead you from abnormal lab test to diagnosis through a series of logical steps. That's right - a step by step approach to lab test interpretation. The approaches have been designed to mimic the thought processes of seasoned clinicians like your attending physician. There's simply no easier way of interpreting abnormal lab tests. But don't take our word for it - check out our sample chapter on hyponatremia. |
