This book met all my expectations:
In fact, it exceeded them. Easy to use, informative, cutting-edge information. I look forward to the next edition.
5 minute clinical consult:
I am an Orthopedic Hand surgeon and I use this book when a patient has a medical disease I am not familiar with where I have some idea of the disease but not enough and this book gives me a quick review in the middle of office hours.
