Clot or Bleed

You’re not alone.

Coagulation is one of those topics that everyone, it seems, finds troublesome. The cascade alone, with all its Roman numerals and seemingly random pathways, is enough to make you want to throw a heavy object (where’s Robbins?).

As one student put it, “I don’t know anyone who doesn’t hate coag.”

What’s worse is that there wasn’t a book with a simple, understandable, succinct explanation of coag anywhere. Which led to the creation of this Study Guide.

Most coag textbooks are unnecessarily complicated and jargony. And they contain a bunch of crap you’ll never in your life need to use.

This guide demystifies coag with easy-to-understand explanations of basic clotting mechanisms, laboratory tests, and diseases.

It’s concise but complete, with tons of helpful mnemonics, charts, and diagrams.

In short, it explains everything you need to know about in a straightforward way that makes sense.
