Enjoyable practical handbook

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago

Certainly I enjoyed reading this handbook, easy to read and recall, well written and organized. It provides basic trauma overview management for medical students, residents level but not above that.the book lacks illustrations may be because it is a handbook???! Overall, it is worth reading. It provides all the need to know trauma info in a pocket size

Excellent trauma manual
