Oxford Handbook of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation (Oxford Handbooks) Review ... the 'black bible' has been a very useful find. Written by active clinicians, this is a very practical book, extremely useful for a quick reference on the wards and one of the few pieces of medical literature that concentrates on investigations and how to interpret them. Northwing (Sheffield Medical School Gazette) This book not only tells you which investigations to order in numerous clinical situations but how to interpret the results, which is all-important. It is written by clinicians, is wonderfully pragmatic and the last word on clinical investigation ... Strongly recommended. Dr Harry Brown The editors deserve credit for bringing together such a comprehensive oversight of currently available tests. Although this little handbook is likely to be of most benefit to the junior doctor on the 'shop floor', it could be a valuable source of knowledge to more senior doctors, medical students and anyone who has a role in ordering or carrying out investigative procedures.
