I'm starting a heme-path elective next week and it looks like I'll be hanging off the end of a six header with 3 residents and an attending for the next 4 weeks. What single book can I check out of the library so as to minimize the my inevitably looking stupid?

The new Kjeldsberg or the WHO book or the Robbins section.

Really, I could get by on Robbins?

Yeah totally. Way more than enough to not sound like an idiot.

The best thing you can do early is to review normal - especially what constitutes normal bone marrow morphology and range of differentiation, etc. After that, Robbins is good, and the WHO book, as said, has the definitive info and it is a relatively small book without extraneous info.

A good atlas is highly usefull for looking at glass slide. Most heme departments will have a couple. The CAP atlas is good.

Your library may or may not have a heme atlas.
Even an older one is good for pictures.

The new Univ.Utah-ARUP/Kjeldsberg book is THE hemepath reference book IMO. It is flipping incredible, with charts and tables Ive never seen anywhere else. I read both volumes in a week, very readable.

In terms of absolutely super high value review, the Baines Hematology CD is the best single thing, like 1000 test ?s and TONS of explanation. Insane number of images, far more than any atlas ever written on the subject.

Is the 4th edition significantly improved from the 3rd? I no longer live in the ARUP-U of U continuum, so I haven't seen the new book. While I like the third edition, it is a little superficial for me now. If the new edition is more of a comprehensive reference book, I'll probably get it.

The new edition bears absolutely NO resemblance to the 3rd edition. The 4th is a 2 volume hardcover that is approximately 1 quadrillion times better.
OLD EDITION:

NEW!!

Seriously, I could not put this 4th ed. down, its a compelling gripping novel of the sordid world of hematologic disease that reads like one of those erotic works from Anne Rice.

Where do you get the Baines CD?
