This is an awesome reference book for those in the medical field!! It is very concise, has great pictures (although I wish there were more) and makes sense to even a common lay person.

A must on my desk!

A need to have for anyone aspiring to be or in the medical field.

Lately, with my current job I've found this to be a helpful resource. The only thing I don't like about it is, the pictures. Gross!

[Bunnydozer · Rating 3 out of 5]

OK, so I haven't READ it, but it's a great reference. I used it a lot through out my Master's, and I still pick it up from time to time.

[Sara · Rating 3 out of 5]

very helpful with looking up unfamiliar medical terms, medications, diseases. Mine is old, and i mostly just use Google these days, as it does not give a whole lot of detail.

[Crystal Reese · Rating 5 out of 5]

Necessary.

[Alama · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my Favorites!

Ken Blanchard has a way of taking the complex role of leadership and breaking it down into bite size pieces - this is one of those fast read Ah Ha books...
