This review is from: Electrodiagnostic Medicine, 2e (Hardcover)

Having trained under the author, I agree with Dr. Dumitru's assessment that he has taken the wealth of all published electrodiagnostic literature to date and condensed it for us in this nice "little" 1500 or so pages. I would call it essential. I am now 4 years out from my residency, ABEM board certified, and run a primarily electrodiagnostic clinic. I still refer to this heavyweight regularly. Strengths: thorough, excellent figures and tables, teaches a foundation upon which the electrodiagnostic physician can reason/deduce. Downsides: There are multiple editing errors found within the text, and the index is atrocious. I am able to more easily find information having placed section tabs throughout the book. The binding also fell apart within the first year after purchasing the 2nd edition. A 3rd edition would be nice in the coming years...

This review is from: Electrodiagnostic Medicine, 2e (Hardcover)

This is perhaps the best most extensive book in
the field of electrodiagnostic medicine. It is
a great study and reference book for the physician as well
as the technologist. It doesn't get much better than this!
