Customer Review:
The ICU Book is a selective (but fairly comprehensive) review of ICU topics from largely one doctor's perspective. (The 2007 edition has "contributions" from a second doctor.) That it's written by one person keeps a consistency in style but there are several controversial points raised where it's... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Globe Pequot
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
The book was a bit too basic for my taste. I understand that the layperson doesn't have access to many things that a doctor does. But to me, the book was more about band-aids than it is about stitches. I think it could have been a little meatier.

The book has much of what you expect in a first aid book. The one problem is that the book hasn't been updated in a long time. One of the treatments recommended was outdated and wrong. | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Great message
Anyone that has set foot in the outdoors needs to read this book. I find it refreshing today that there are people, like Doc Tilburg and the Crag Rats, that are willing to risk their lives for the bennifit of others without being highly compensated. The book is very enlightening... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
