Summary: My review of this book
Comment: Okay...Everybody these dayz be talkin' how the Washington Manual series is tha bobm. (I mean this book was already ranked at 910,000 on Amazon within like 2 weeks of release) Well, sorry to alert you of this, but they ain't tha bobm. It's just that people were so gaga about there last one: The Washington Manual Gastroenterology Subspecialty Consult. I mean my sister just threw a "Gastroenterology Subspecialty Consult"-themed party last week and all her friends went basically BUHLISTIC over it.

Now, the Washington Manual stuff is aight, but it's no Health Institute-level stuff and it certainly is nothing when put in the ring together with the Terrence Bros. Series which, if nothing else, are mad powerful consults and the ones I would use most often in my practice.

And, can someone answer me this, why are hematology and oncology talked about in the SAME BOOK??? Oncology's cool, but, sorry again, fols, hematology is basically going the way of alchemy. That's right. I said it. Hematology is a useless science and only could MAYBE come in handy if anyone ever had a disorder of the blood or associated organs.

Also, it seemed like this book was totally not saying near enough about dosing chemo (I mean, not that any med student or resident would dose chemo, obviously), but, still, yo, these protocolz are constantly changing anyway.

Summary: Nice overview
Comment: Just got this book- I thought it was a very nice overview of hematology and oncology. It was one of the few that I could find that had "just enough" detail without going overboard with minutiae. A great book for a student or resident on service.

Summary: Well Done
Comment: This is a subspecialty consult book on hem/onc that I just received. It seems to have all of the basics for the primary physician, med student, rotating resident and even the basics for the fellows. You never know it might even have some of the minutiae that some attendings might forget. I think it was created for the rotating resident or med student and for this it really serves its purpose. Easy and concise. Although I have not read it completely, it does seem a tad sparse in some sections such as dosing chemo (not that the med student/resident would dose chemo), but these protocols are constantly changing anyway...but an idea of dose range might have been a bit helpful some readers. Overall it is an excellent review of hem/onc.
