Interesting.. thanx for the link. I'd like to take a look at it before I buy one, though... think they'd have this at a regular bookstore?

I think you can get it anywhere. Although, I have never looked for this book on the Mall or would have until now I am sure it would be possible to get in one of the bigger book stores.

Good Luck

I bought that book when I first started in dialysis 7 months ago. I find it kind of overly complicated.

I just ordered "Handbook of Dialysis" by Lippincott yesterday. I'll let ya'll know what I think of it.

Well, that is something that book is easy to me and made for non nurses. In other words it is suppose to be simple enough that the lame person could understand it; such as a non medical person or PCT.

I also bought Dialysis Therapy and it t me would be what I would say is a little more complicated, and I would not recommend if for someone without any medical training because it is geared toward the nursing perspective.
