註釋The subtitle exagerates the scope and depth of this reference. Patients will get a sense of a procedure; however, some terminology is rather technical, and some entries lack details that a patient might want to know, e.g. dietary restrictions prior to a test, the use of anesthetic during a procedure, risks, alternatives. Coverage includes 1,000 commonly prescribed tests and procedures, including what they measure, patient preparation, specimen assessment, cost, and special instructions or precautions. The second edition includes new and revised tests, updated prices, the impact of the Internet on diagnostic testing, and the direct-to-consumer movement in medical testing. Written by a pathologist/laboratory director and a nurse.
