5.0 out of 5 stars
Your "desert island" pediatric book., May 10, 2000
This review is from: Saunders Manual of Pediatric Practice, 1e (Paperback)
One has not only limited amount of money to spend on books, but limited time to read them as well. If you fall asleep reading the better known ("classic") pediatric textbooks, but find the spiral-bound handbooks inadequate, this manual is the perfect choice for you. It contains no photos and has few illustrations. You can forget about small-lettered, endless lists and depressing tables. What this book has is concise, easy-to- find and easy-to-read, practical, relevant and REALLY useful information about almost every topic you could encounter in a clinical setting. The important facts are highlighted as "key" information: key clinical findings, key laboratory findings, etc. If you study for the boards, has a round in five minutes or just need some refreshing between patients, you will find this book amazingly helpful.
