4.0 out of 5 stars
Good introduction, September 9, 2004
This review is from: A Guide to Patient Care Technology: A Review of Medical Equipment (Hardcover)
Apparently the previous reviewer didn't read the book. The author states that it is intended as an introduction to technology used in hospitals, aimed primarily at nursing and other health care students. As such, it is appropriately technical and would serve a very useful purpose for this audience. The table of contents could use some reorganization, and the pictures aren't all the greatest. Also, I would rather see it as a paperback than the current hard-cover, to keep costs down for students. Other than that, it's a good reference with no other books (that I've found) that are comparable.
PS - patients and family members might find the book interesting as well, since hospital staff don't always have time to explain all the equipment being used in their care.

1.0 out of 5 stars
A superficial reference work, December 23, 2003
This review is from: A Guide to Patient Care Technology: A Review of Medical Equipment (Hardcover)
A comprehensive review of this book appears in the May-June 2003 issue of "Biomedical Instrumentation and Technology", Vol. 37, No. 3, page 223. The book is of such a brief and limited work as to make it virtually useless.
