The care that the authors took in selecting radiographs and images is evident. The graphs and diagrams are simple and easy to understand. The questions are diverse... Some questions require simple recognition of a physical examination finding and a one-word answer. Others are open-ended and require thought and organization prior to answering. This diversity is both interesting and realistic, given that in clinical medicine one is often faced with a similar potpurri of problems when managing a patient. The answers are concisely stated and easy to follow. ...One of the advantages of this book is that it can be fit into the small openings of a busy professional's schedule. The book is compact and light. Each question is independent of the next. The answers do not take long to read. The illustrations are fun and interesting. ...A fun, educational text... --Respiratory Care, June 2006 <p>Praise for the first edit Author InformationUniversity of Washington Medical Center, Seattle, WA, USA Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
