I purchased this book having already read most of it. That being said, I knew what the book was like. It is very informative in an easy-to-understand way. The pictures help illustrate the points and add some humor to an otherwise boring (for me ) topic. My only complaint is that some mistake was made during the printing and/or editorial process. There were typo's and font problems throughout Chapters 10 and 11. Example: pg 284 at the bottom. Other than that, a good purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base Companion, February 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Fluid, Electrolyte And Acid-base Companion (Paperback)

This book copies the enormously popular style of Dubin's EKG book by placing a large picture at the top of every page and then some text and fill-in sentences (as a review) below it. I like this style and find that I can read and absorb much more information from it. Buy and master this book as a first year student taking renal physiology, as a second year student learning about electrolyte and acid base disorders, or as a house officer dealing with patients on every service in the hospital.

Very well written book. I recommend this book to everyone interested in understanding the basic concepts of fluid homeostasis, electrolytes, and acid-base matters. A lot of images, large font - so don't be scared by the many pages.
