Reviews

"This is a great concise book that tells you "at a glance" the most important things you need to know about any particular test/imaging study/EKG finding. I liked the previous three editions and I like this new one. This a great book to have handy when those oddball consultations come your way." "4 stars" Doody's 20031117
