Neurology for the Non-Neurologist

The book is more than I had hoped for and the condition of the book was better than was listed.

Book / Seller Review

Book was in condition stated. Great seller, would buy from again.

Readable, practical

Nice book that means just what it says. An excellent first chapter on the neuro exam. A good overview of neurological diagnostics. Then a very readable review of coma, CVD, headache, epilepsy, MS, Parkinson's, peripheral neuropathy, vertigo, behavioral neuro, AD, etc. A nice chapter on the neurotoxic effects of non-neurological drugs. And more. Complete, but as stated, not written for a neurologist. Nice.
