Report
2018 BMA Awards: Highly Commended, Anesthesia
"The book covers an extremely broad collection of diseases (both adult and pediatric) and outlines the anesthetic issues posed by the various disease states.... For the past 20 years, this book has been one of the most used books, on my bookshelf. It's a fantastic resource when you want to review specific anesthetic challenges posed by a patient's comorbidity or drug usage."
