This book will help the average healthcare worker understand the essentials of statistics to prepare for a board or be involved in medical research. It is a great vantage point to understand the concept and go from there.

As I said in my title, I love this book. It lays out the problem of how to approach statistics in a digestible, understandable, and rather complete way. The book actually follows my biostatistics class very nicely even though the class is using a different and more difficult text.

I wish I was in class with the writer of this book. He is really a great teacher.

This is now one of my favorite books, and I carry it with me all the time.
