This review is from: Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs (Spiral-bound)

This is a nicely written, well organized quick reference text for the practicing physician, or resident in training. I was impressed by the amount of clearly presented practical information. Definitely a good book to check for a quick suggestion for response to a clinical situation. I wish there had been a book like this one when I was a resident.

This review is from: Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs (Spiral-bound)

All informations which are needed to work at an neonatal intensive care unit are in this book.
The chapters are clearly organized and the text is structured strictly to ensure that information can be quickly found.
Hopefully there will be anew edition soon.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter. She is a registered dietitian in an neo-natal intensive care unit. She says this book will be a great help to her.
