A very good book. It just lacks some on pathophysiology. Everything else is very clear and updated.

Actually quite good. It covers all of introduction hematology/oncology physiology and pathophysiology, so quite comprehensive compared to other books I read for med school. I didn't like how there are no practice questions integrated in the text; you have to go to a separate link for them. Oh, well. A useful book.

tienes todo muy resumido, muy bien explicado, eres amigable, me fue bien en el exámen, pero en algunas partes estás escrito como si todos fuéramos expertos en hemato, por eso solo 4 de 5
