a good txtbook:
probabily the best critical txtbook of the last 3-4 yrs better than fink( only a source of review). I prefer the parrillo book for the practical point of view (waiting for a new edts)but probably is only a personal opinion.

A must!!:
This text is clearly one of the best in its field. It is well organized and very thorough. The organization and attention to detail make it a great referrence source and an easy read. It should be in anyone's library that takes of critically ill patients. I would highly recommend it for fellows in critical care medicine. The "Pretest" question and answer study guide that is a companion to this text is also excellent and a great tool for the critical care boards. I am anxiously awaiting the next edition.
