"One of the best of its kind to appear to date, this book lives up to its promise to provide a ‘handbook for professionals who work with medical and surgical patients.’ It avoids excessive focus on theory and debate over current diagnostic terminology and derives its impact and effectiveness from very readable practical considerations of patient care in a general hospital setting." – Annals of Internal Medicine, review of a previous edition
