Review
"This manual follows the familiar and successful formula of the larger text, Trauma....Unlike many handbooks patterned after a parent text, however, these authors have updated presentations and reference lists since the larger hardbound reference was published. I recommend the Trauma Manual for conciseness and clarity in presentation and consider this an effective pocket guide for the members of the trauma service. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service
