Reviews for Decision Making in Medicine: An Algorithmic Approach
This book is, quite simply, a triumph.The beauty of the book is the way in which each topic has an algorithm on one page for brevity and clarity and on the opposing page the explanation with its necessary breadth and depth.This book was intriguing, enjoyable to read and represents good value for money. - David Warriner, Barnsley Hospital, Barnsley- British Journal of Hospital Medicine While most internal medicine reference books focus on delivering information and knowledge to the reader, this one assists practitioners with the use of that knowledge. Through the use of comprehensive algorithms, it reveals how the clinical decision-making and thought process requires an organized and systematic approach. This book would be a useful reference for any medical practitioner. - Heather Huang, MD, Doody's Review Service, 4 Stars! DOODY'S BOOK REVIEW SERVICE NEW REVIEW
