What students say:• “I am in my last semester and carry this book (and your Clot or Bleed book) wherever I go!!!!”• “I think it is absolutely genius! This is so much better than reading through a dense textbook.”• “You strike the perfect balance between detail and convenience. I will definitely use this to study for boards.”• “Your book on hematopathology is excellent. My pathology exam here in Sicily is on February 25 and it helped very much.”• “This is great. I’m using it as one of my resources for hemepath rotation….really useful.
