Ackerman's Surgical Pathology (2 Vol Set)

Rating:
Summary: Best book on Surgical Pathology
Review: One of the best book I have ever encountered on the Surgical Pathology. Each pathologist must possess this book, however, the price seems to be high for asian doctors. Be assured that this book is worth investing and would return the investment in the minimum time.

Summary: Excellent Textbook
Review: This is the best textbook in Surgical Pathology for the residents in this field. Juan Rosi is a great figure in Anatomic Pathology, and no doubt that this work is a very valuable piece of art.

Being written origianlly by a very great and famous pathologist Lauren Ackerman, Professor Rosi did a great job by keeping this text one of the best in Surgiacl Pathology.

For the residents in Anatomic Pathology, I should say: Don't waste your time by reading other texts. Of course you have to read Robbin's to get the sense of Pathology and to understand what you are going to face in this wide and extremely difficult science, but to be a safe and knowlegable pathologist at the board exam level you really and honestly should read this great textbook.

I personally reviewed too many topics from Akerman's and other commonly read texts by the residents, and it is very clearly that there is NO COMPARISON.

One thing might hold you not to read Ackerman's textbook is professor Rosi moved from his previous position as a professor and chairman of pathology in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre. I am not sure where is he right now and I am not sure if he is going to update this great textbook. I he is not going to do that, simply that means the end of this very valuable and great medical book, and the medical laibrarly would lose an important work in Pathology.

Through the amazon, I am asking professor Rosi not to stop editing the book, and we are looking for a new edition.

Whatever the situation, this book should be in every pathologist's office and in every department of pathology regaredless it is price which although is a little high, but it worth it no doubt.
