"I can strongly recommend this book to everyone involvedin small animal emergencies." (Veterinary Times,9 April 2012)"This is a great book for veterinarians in general practice as wellas those in training. No other book (to my knowledge) in veterinarymedicine addresses medical errors and communication issues from thepoint of view of a specialist. This book is extremely usefuland provides great learning material based on past experiences inorder to prevent future errors." (Doody's, 29 July 2011) "Worth reading several times... This book is an easy andinteresting read and is very accessible... it is a book that Ibelieve is useful for both experienced and newly-graduated vets andalso nurses, as not only are clinical aspects broached, there isalso a large focus on communication." (Veterinary Practice,May 2011) "In my opinion, most cases in this book would make a greatdiscussion starter for staff meetings / clinical audit meetings.The book should be required reading for all interns and residentsin the relevant fields. It is an excellent resource for anyone whodeals with emergency or critically ill patients, filling aparticular need that is not met by other textbooks." (VeterinaryRecord, April 2011)
