Stimmen zu »Acute Care General Surgery«

“This is a collection of brief presentations about the evaluation, potential complications, and management of emergencies faced by general surgeons. … The reproduction of radiographs is quite good and many chapters feature excellent color photography. … This is an excellent quick read that can be valuable to new residents or medical students first encountering acute care general surgery, as well as staff surgeons encountering a less familiar problem.” (David Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2017)
