Recenzje

'This book presents information about topics that are very relevant to urban environments but are not often included in 'traditional' EM textbooks. The clinical vignettes that initiate each chapter make the topics more clinically relevant and they are nicely wrapped up at the end of the chapters. The 'pro-tips' are excellent take home points and pearls to improve clinical practice.' Amal Mattu, M.D., Professor, Emergency Medicine, Vice Chair of Academic Affairs, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland
