ABDOMINAL EMERGENCIES

About this title

Review:

"It is written for practicing physicians, but will be useful to any medical personnel or medical student as well....This does a remarkable job of examining and summarizing the most recent diagnostic and therapeutic options for a very difficult yet common complaint. Its strength is in the discussion of best use and limitations of the testing modalities used to diagnose abdominal pain. It is more concise than many other similar texts, and covers the information extremely well. 4 Stars!"--"Doody's Review Service" .
