Opis

Practical, concise, and fully updated with three new chapters on aspects of endocrinology and diabetes, this new edition is the must-have guide for all trainees and specialist nurses in both disciplines

Recenzje

I highly recommend this book, which is useful for subspecialty trainees to reference in day-to-day practice when they have certain clinical questions. Not only does the book do a great job of concisely organizing the extensive information related to endocrinologic disorders, but it also provides additional reading articles and guidelines for readers looking to comprehend and navigate the field of endocrinology.
