A brilliant MUST HAVE book to help with those path results you just don’t know what to do with…‘This is a revolutionary book which saves on endless googling and is certainly more reliable than AI to know what to do with that borderline Ferririn or that antinuclear antibody you wish you had never ordered. Nazia Hussain has obviously lived a life as a GP and has clearly worked out what the needs are in this area as there are consistent and clear guidelines to help guide interpretation and actioning of tricky results as well as the more mundain ones. Background, indication and interpretation of most results you can come across are clearly laid out and easy to access with colour coded diagrams and flow charts to make life easier. I love this book and tap in on a weekly basis to help with the interpretation and action plan for the tests that I have difficulty in picking apart and, more importantly, those tests that land on my desk that someone else requested.’ Amazon reviewer
