Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A little disappointing
I thought that this book would be as great as its adult emergency partner of the same series, however, eventhough it contains some good information , I have not actually found the need to consult it in the shift. The knowledge in it is not too bad, but not as helpful as I thought when I decided to buy it initially. It is ok , not a bad item to have, but if you don't, you won't miss it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It is a very good POCKET book
It is a pocket book that you can carry everywere. It's very complete for a pocket book. I recomend it.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - an incredibly handy and useful little book
I got this manual about a year ago as a gift, and I have really gotten a lot out of it. It's filled with very useful information, and it'll save your neck on a daily basis, at least. Ever since I got it, many of the other residents in my hospital have been buying it, and the consensus is that it can make your life a whole lot easier. The anatomy section is probably one of the most consulted ones, with a very good table with the origin and insertion of every muscle in the body, along with innervation. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great pocket reference!
A wealth of information in a small package! Whether you are an Orthopaedic resident or allied health member, you will benefit from this handy reference.
