Medical Management of Neurosurgical Patients
«This is a text I will surely return to myself, and I highly recommend it to any neurosurgical resident, attending, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant for reference. I also highly recommend it to any hospitalist frequently involved in the care of neurosurgical patients in the ICU or floor. It is a compact yet comprehensive guide that would be valuable on the shelf in any call room or office.»

«This short book is a concise overview of medical problems and possible surgical complications to consider when taking care of neurosurgical patients, a unique population that requires comprehensive care that extends beyond just the nervous system. ... This book provides a solid foundation for junior level residents and midlevel providers to build upon as they become more experienced in their care of neurosurgical patients in the critical care and ward settings.»
