• “I’ve read it. I no longer hate coag!!”
• “The explanations are very helpful and succinct…brilliant.”
• “I am reading your “Clot or Bleed”. I wish to know English better to express my gratitude for such a precious gift.”

• “Everything about it is great and convenient.”
About the book:
Coagulation can be confusing, to say the least. This guide demystifies coag with easy-to-understand descriptions of clotting and anti-clotting, an explanation of laboratory tests, and succinct but complete reviews of bleeding disorders (like von Willebrand disease) and thrombotic disorders (like factor V Leiden). It’s short and complete, and it has tons of helpful mnemonics, charts and tables.
What’s inside:
• The basics of clotting: platelet plug formation and the dreaded coagulation cascade
• The basics of anti-clotting: natural anticoagulants and fibrinolytics
• Laboratory tests: common (or otherwise important) platelet and coagulation tests
• Bleeding disorders (von Willebrand disease, hemophilia, hereditary platelet disorders, DIC, ITP, TTP, HUS, and others)
• Thrombotic disorders (factor V Leiden, ATIII deficiency, protein C and S deficiencies, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and others)
Why it’s painless:
• It’s short (so you don’t waste time sorting out what’s important)
• It’s complete (so you don’t have to use other sources to figure things out)
• It’s easy to understand (no complicated text that you need to re-read three times)
• There are lots of helpful mnemonics (including a bizarre, sexy one for the coagulation cascade)
• It will make you look good (it gives answers to the questions most commonly asked by professors and attendings)
• There are nice, clean charts and tables (because tables are much easier to remember than paragraphs of text)
• It’s illustrated with explanatory photos (so you have more than just Roman numerals to picture in your brain)
• It’s got everything you need to know to really understand coag – minus the anxiety and torture.
Bottom line:
Full of straightforward diagrams, helpful memory aids, and answers to commonly-asked test questions, this guide helps students retain the concepts of coagulation and translate them into real-life use.
