Great book!!

This is hands down the best wound book I have found. It has all of the latest research data plus indepth proceedure guides.

Great reference!

This is a terrific book that has great pictures and instructions. A fabulous addition to your professional library!

Great ED/Urgent care Laceration Manual

An excellent referrence source for ED, but very useful, as well, for an internist or family medicine doc in urgent care setting. Highly recommended!

Repairing any gaps of knowledge

This book is eminently clear, concise, and useful. I feel so much more confident handling lacerations, wounds, burns, and even rabies prophylaxis in the Fast Track and urgent-care settings. I recommend this to all medical students, residents, and practicing physicians desiring a practical reference. Thanks to Dr. Trott and Mosby publishing for putting this book together!

excellent book for teaching repair of lacerations in the ED -- short, readable, and authoritative
