Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is beautifully illustrated and certainly serves as a great atlas. It is organized by body system with a brief section on the normal physiology of that system and then entries for various conditions of that system. The index references page numbers, but the there are tables of contents for each color-coded system section organized by chapter number boldly displayed in the upper corners of the page. Thus, it is quite easy to find a lot of helpful information.
I will quibble a bit with the choice of what to exclude. There is not a word about seizure disorders. At first I thought that might be because the author chose to include conditions for which there can be lots of photos, imaging studies and drawings. But the chapter on neurodiagnostic tests does show a couple of EEC tracings and mentions EEG's utility in diagnosing conditions other than seizures. Then there's a chapter on diabetes insipidus that just has a diagram, so the graphics theory goes. Thus, I find it inexplicable that there's nothing about seizures.
Still, an interesting and useful reference, perhaps as a companion to Ferri's Clinical Adviser (or to my preference, The 5-Minute Clinical Consult).
