DESCRIPTION:
Kenneth W. Burchard is professor of surgery and anesthesiology at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, New Hampshire, USA
Concise and well thought out Ashlee Nicole Dr. Burchard's understanding of surgical critical care and the pathophysiology of critical illness is unmatched. This book as a very approachable read and it breaks down topics into easy to understand chapters. Takes a very complex topic and makes it very easy to understand.. Easy to read and understand Dr. Burchard's understanding of surgical critical care is incredible, but even more impressive is his ability to convey that knowledge in an intelligible fashion for learners to assimilate that information. It is succinct, organized, not overly verbose and will be practice changing for anyone who reads it.. "Two Stars" according to Amjad Najim. Not the depth that I expected
