Reviews
“An excellent addition to the library of anyone who needs to develop residency lectures or handouts (as well as, of course, to any practicing clinician). … The level of detail is much greater than that of a pocketbook … and the detail is meaty. The real prize is the many tables and lists, some taken directly or adapted from source material and others created by the authors … . ” (Theresa M. van der Vlugt, Annals of Emergency Medicine, Vol. 72 (3), September, 2018)
“This book covers the most common and most important neurological emergencies. … The focus is neurological emergencies, primarily presenting in the emergency department. … it is a good resource not only for differential diagnoses, but treatment options and dispositions. … This is a good reference for emergency medicine physicians or trainees who would like to brush up on their neurological diseases.” (Oliver Garrison, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2018)
