a must have text

Despite the fact that this text was written ten years ago the die hard facts remain pertinent to the CCU, ICU, PACU patient of today. I am a third year medical student interested in Critical Care and in this competitive world of medicine, a book like this is a necessity. I found mine in a used book store and I will never give it up. In fact, I am buying it as a Christmas present for my best friend. Anyone in the field of medicine should get this text; the way that the pathophysiology is laid out is brilliant. To be honest, this may be the only text you need you second and third year of medical school... this is only a slight exageration...I PROMISE!!!!!!!!

A beautiful, beautiful book

As a student physician with a deep interest in Critical Care Medicine, I've been reading textbooks on the subject whenever I am able to get my hands on any of them. This one is an old book, published in 1992, and I found it in my med school library. My verdict: A classic. It explains, from the foundations up, the physiological and pathophysiological bases of Critical care medicine, in a way I have not found matched (or even approached) in ANY text on the subject. It is a shame that this book is no longer in print. What concise brilliance, what pedagogical excellence...The only drawback, now, is that 10 years after it was written the therapeutic recommendations will, obviosly, be a bit out of date. And yet... what a book.
