This survey of the principles, practice and terminology of pathology has been designed to serve several classes of users. For the physician and medical student it provides a concise review of essential topics in anatomic and clinical pathology ... For professional and practical nurses, physician's assistants and other healthcare workers whose training does not include formal exposure to pathology, it supplies background information. Medical transciptionists, medical secretaries, records clerks, insurance clerks, attorneys, and others will find this a valuable resource for tracking down the significance and bearing of pathologic terms.-Foreword.
