Reviews

“This is a collection of reports from natural and manmade mass casualty situations with high level statistics in some cases and bedside clinical pearls in others. … Providers in trauma centers including surgeons, anesthesiologists, and emergency medicine specialists are an appropriate audience. … As experience in this area is sporadic and unpredictable, this is a worthwhile reference for these providers who could encounter the sudden need to treat victims of these events.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
