This review is from: Cystic Fibrosis: Medical Care (Paperback)

I have kept copies of this excellent resource for residents who rotate through my Pediatric Pulmonology practice. Orenstein, Stern and Rosenstein write in a succinct and clear manner that gets the provider the information needed in care for those afflicted with CF. The book can be read in two weeks of evenings cover to cover. The system approach that they use is helpful and pragmatic. Though the book is dated in its publication, the recommendations that are made for the care and management of CF are still current. The added bonus is the price. Do not be dissuaded by the bargain basement price, the information authors provide for the care and management of CF is priceless. Whenever I get a new CF patient, I give a copy of this book to the primary care physician and I give a copy of the companion book Cystic Fibrosis: A Guide forPatient and Family http://www.amazon.com/Cystic-Fibrosis-Guide-Patient-Family/dp/0781741521/ref=pd_cp_b_2 to the patient. These books make the care and management of CF patients easy to understand and an achievable goal.
