Additional text
Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage:
"… Zu den Stärken dieses Kompendiums gehört die kompakte Darstellung der Leitsymptome, der klinischen Befunde, des diagnostischen Procedere und der therapeutischen Optionen für die wichtigsten neurologischen Erkrankungen. … Hilfreich ist das Buch vor allem für Studierende der Medizin sowie angehende Assistenzärztinnen und -ärzte, insbesondere, auch wenn Englisch nicht ihre Muttersprache ist, weil mit der kondensierten Information zur Neurologie gleichzeitig die einschlägige Fachsprache für den Krankenhausalltag mitgeliefert wird, also zu empfehlen z.B. vor einem ersten klinischen Aufenthalt in England oder den USA." (M. Weller, in: Schweizer Archiv für Neurologie und Psychiatrie, 2008, Vol. 159, Issue 8, S. 516)
