Still a great resourceI just updated my older, well read copy recently. This is still my favorite anesthesia resource, the book I grab when I want to refresh my memory about this or that.
No, it's not as in depth as many, but it IS easy to read, and the major points are well covered.
Whether novice or experienced practitioner, this book has much to offer.Good Book to StartGriggsby Wright, MD says:
I used an older print of this book the first six months of my
CA-1 year and thought it was helpful in transitioning into the more comprehensive texts.
I highly recommend this book for the novice as an introduction into the specialty of Anesthesiology!
Outstanding !!!This is an extraordinary book to prepare the board. Simple,concise, to the point. I upgraded from the second edition and it was really worth the upgrade. New chapters and new presentation with key concepts and case discussion worth reading. All time companion book !! |
