Description
This is synoptic pathology text that summarises both the general and systemic pathology required by medical and other health science students. Although an entirely "stand alone" text, it has its origins in Woolf's "Pathology: Basic and Systemic", and it is ideal for exam preparation. As with the parent textbook, the clinical relevance of the pathology is emphasised throughout.
