Not that most people would ever have the need to read this book, but don't. It's horrible. I called it "Pathology for Dummies". It includes such errors as defining autoimmunity as the immune response attacking itself (FALSE), stating that a person who tests positive for HIV has been exposed to AIDS (FALSE), and using oriental (uncapitalized) as a racial category. These authors just make nurses look BAD!
