This is great small handy reference for neophyte practioners and MD/PA/NP students learning the art of wound repair. Many helpful graphs and charts pertaining to such things as timing of suture removal, nerve distribution and suture choice make this great refernce. It did not leave my white while doing my emergency medicine clerkship. Though the fundementals are sound -it could use a revision to incorperate use of tissue glues, as well as relaxation of a couple of unrealistic recommendations (i.e. gowning and masking for uncomplicated lacertions).

Mr. Mortiere did an excellent job compiling information on the priciples of wound management. I find this book very useful, easy to use and I refer to it often. I particularly like the section on local anesthetic & administration techniques. I stand after hours call in a rural area of the country and I often use this book as a quick review before taking care of one of the many conditions a provider may encounter in rural medicine. This book is worth every cent.
