Great book, very concise and handy!! October 3, 2009 C. Shaw (WDC) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love this book. It was my bible when I was in my internship, but was also a helpful reference for me working as a general practitioner as well. It is very concise and has at least a little information on a lot of subjects, even hyper-osmolar non-ketotic syndrome if you were like me and actually didn't learn about that one in vet school. It can get you through a crisis. I would say it is due for a new edition which is why I go for 4 instead of 5 stars.
book review April 30, 2009 R. perla (USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
this book is excellent and has lot of information that can be easy to understand and apply in emergency situations as well as in normal clinical settings.Technically speaking book is excellent but the price is high and has no pictures/images.
Great for an emergency clinician March 15, 2009 B. Sollinger (Claremont, CA United States) This book is excellent for the emergency clinician, because the treatments are right at your fingertips. great explanations and the book is organized very well!
right on the money March 7, 2009 D. YASUR LANDAU (Israel) as an intern in small anima emergency medicine, I find this book easy to read and understand, up to date and containing all the information I need on the spot...
Excellent quick reference November 2, 2007 MTh (USA) Purchased recently to help my work in an Emergency clinic. The book is an excellent collection of conditions commonly encountered in a busy ER clinic set up.Very comprehensive, informative.
Each condition is described very professionally from description of the condition-diagnosis-prognosis-treatment including the description for many procedures used in the treatment.Doses of medications is very informative.
Repetitions are to be avoided; example-the procedure for "gastric lavage" is repeatedly described in detail under all conditions that possibly require a gastric lavage.Instead of this the general procedure for gastric lavage could have been described at one place and reference to that page can be given on all conditions requiring a gastric lavage.This can save a lot of pages of print.
A few demonstrations of how to calculate a CRI would be very helpful.
Inclusion of color pictures illustrations can save a lot of space in describing the procedures.
Inclusion of common toxins and antidote is helpful.
