Product Description

Review

"... Acute Care Surgery is aligned with the recent series of reports by the Institute of Medicine on the crisis in emergency care. The field of acute care surgery is in its infancy, and this is reflected in some of my criticisms of the book. But these shortcomings are offset by a number of outstanding contributions as well as by the overall value of this book for those who are interested in the emerging field of acute care surgery." (M.A. Malangoni, The New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 357/14, October 2007) "...This is an important contribution that helps to define an emerging specialist in surgery, the manager of acute surgical problems. The perspective of multiple disciplines is included with commentaries written and organized by experts. ...This book is timely, as a curriculum for acute care surgery has recently been published." (D.J.Dries, University of Minnesota Medical School, Doody's)

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for the general surgeon, July 21 2010

By CTT - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Acute Care Surgery: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)

This is a good overview book of general surgery. It covers most clinical entities that one commonly encounters. The editors are giants in our field. This volume would make a good gift for the chief resident about to go into practice.
