Practical Transfusion Medicine - Tapa dura

"This is an excellent text for hematologists, hematologists in training, anesthesiologists, surgeons, critical care physicians, transfusion scientists, and nonmedical transfusion workers ... it should prove useful for all health care professionals who make use of or provide transfusion medicine services during their day-to-day professional duties to patients who require blood products." Transfusion Medicine Reviews "Overall, I would recommend this book strongly to anyone wishing to learn how blood is collected, processed and administered. I certainly advise my haematology trainees to read it before taking their exams, and would expect a copy to find its way onto the shelves of most senior haematologists."
