- Summary:
- This book has been designed to help the practicing clinician to appropriately select and interpret diagnostic tests without the burden of information useful only to the pathologist or laboratory.

The focus is on diagnosing diseases and the table of contents is organized by system or disease rather than tests performed. A Brandon-Hill recommended title.
