Recenzje

"This is a book to challenge the thinking of those in residency programs about the care of hospitalized patients. The purpose is to teach, through a Socratic method, the salient points of hospital-level medicine. The audience clearly is residents, hospitalists, and those whose consultative practice includes the in-patient arena. ... This is an extremely helpful tool for studying in-patient medical care and the corollaries of how to be a consultant and how to be a good steward of hospital resources." (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2016)
