Laboratory Hemostasis

From the book reviews: "The purpose is to provide a single reference with information and guidance related to directing a clinical coagulation laboratory. The book is intended for everyone involved in clinical coagulation testing -- residents and fellows, clinical laboratory scientists, pathologists, or doctoral level scientists involved in directing a clinical coagulation laboratory. It would also be of interest to 'users' -- e.g., clinical hematology consultants. ... This is a must-have for any clinical coagulation laboratory director." (Valerie L. Ng, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2015)
