Dummies guide to anesthesia Perfect for those interested in expanding their prior knowledge of the field. The pictures walk you through step-by-step and the humor keeps the boredom from setting in. Great book!
Well worth the time and money Somehow the authors have taken the very serious subjects near and dear to the heart of any anesthesia provider and made them dead-on funny -- but truly helpful and informative. I can't you how many times I've been saved by their tips and hints. This is a MUST HAVE reference for the anesthesia student.
Anesthesia Unplugged LOVE this book. It has practical information and tidbits with clearly defined illustrations. Very humerous as it brings it down to earth and does not create the "usual" anesthesia textbook. I recommend it especially to students and anesthesia providers to have as a reference.
Awesome A book that has real pictures and humor makes learning fun. This has been a valuable assest in my library.
