Bokk was ok

It was basically what I read in the review of it. OK. It took quite a while though to reach me. Anyhow, Thanks

Excellent book!

This book gives very easy access to problems encountered in surgical settings. It is organized by complaints rather than diseases. Also, it is very esasy to follow. These are it's chapters: abdominal pain, bowel funktion (constipation and diarrhea), chest pain, drug reactions, dysrhytmias, falls fever, fluids-electrolytes-acid-base-status, gi-bleeding, glucose management and nutrition, hedache, hypertension, hypotension and chock, insomnia, intravascular access, leg pain, mental changes, nausea, pain management, preop preparation, pronouncing death, postop bleeding, seizures, shortness of breath, syncope, tubes and draines, urine output changes, wounds. It also has some appendices including redaing x-rays and ECGs, antibiotic standard doses and guidlines. And finally a very informative part including proprietary names of common medications (with therapeutic class, indications, actions, side effects, dose and special notes). Fits easilly in to your pocket. Accordingly it is a real treassure I would say.
