Summary:	It is much easier, especially for a first-time learner, to have the most important material in a single field presented in one scholarly work. It is the most comprehensive textbooks in laboratory medicine, many of which still exist, were written at a level for experts in the field. It was said frequently to me as a specialist in laboratory medicine, in the years prior to the publication of the first edition of this book, that the field of laboratory medicine was unlikely to become a part of general medical education unless there was a new textbook in the field that is comprehensive yet simple for medical students, clinical laboratory scientists, and health care professionals involved in patient care, including practicing physicians.
