I wanted to give this book ZERO stars, but there is no such rating.Want to know what to expect BEFORE you go to the doctor to have a test done? This book will tell you in nauseating detail, over, and over again. It wastes page upon page repeating, word for word, what they do during a blood test.If you want the OLD names for tests, this book uses them all. If you want to understand the results of your blood tests or any other tests, find another book.If you want to know what those abbreviations mean in your test results, don't look here, they aren't there.This book has NO information worth reading at all. I wasted my money and time buying and reading it.
