Essentials Of General Pathology(Pb2014)

Product Description About the book: Essentials of General Pathology Essentials of General Pathology fills in the lacuna in medical knowledge by combining the disease process with simple line illustrations and flow charts, thus ensuring that the concepts are easily understood and can be recalled at a glance while revising-none of the books available in the market today fulfil this requirement. Most books either give a superficial overview of the disease process or are too advanced to be understood by a medical student. This book addresses these shortcomings, and while being simple, is still detailed enough for pathologists to hold sway in their field.
