Recenzje

"This book provides a very simplified description of the issues surrounding a mass casualty situation. It does not provide recommendations which are not already covered in other emergency medical service, emergency medicine, trauma surgery, or toxicologic references." (Daniel Joseph McCabe, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2018)
