    "Great pocket reference. Very thorough yet concise and easy to read. Was a lifesaver on my GI rotation."

    -Mike Tucker, MSIV

    University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine

     

    "This is an ideal test for the student, resident, or physician concentrating on GI. Pathophysiology and differential diagnosis are clear, concise, and clinically applicable. Organization of the book is perfect for quick reference or for thorough reading. Interesting enough to read from cover to cover with references that are accessible. "

    -Teresa May

    University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine- third year student.

     

    "LBB of Gastroenterology is a great evidence based text that can be used both as a quick reference book and a learning tool. The author helps the reader establish a routine logical approach to patients and develop specific differential diagnosis for particular patient complaints. The book provides an outline and a road map for clinical decision making. As a student, I have not found a book that is more clear and concise about disease, pathophysiology, and treatment."

    -Mellissa Holden

     

    "Dr Hay's Little Black Book of Gastroenterology reflects both his enthusiasm for teaching and his understanding of the need for clear, concise and clinically up to date information. Using this reference while on the floors is a tremendous help. It is invaluable to students and professionals alike."
