“Burnout, Fatigue, Exhaustion addresses how mankind has discovered
and dealt with burnout throughout the ages. It is a detailed and
dense book, and for this reason, cover to- cover reading may be
best suited to those with a special interest in the topic. …
Exhaustion is a significant and underrecognized health problem, one
which anesthesiologists are at increased risk of experiencing, and
this book provides comprehensive information on all aspects of its
form and formation.” (Martina Melvin, Anesthesia & Analgesia,
Vol.127 (1), July, 2018)“Practical Anesthetic Management is a
delightful and quick read for those who have been in clinical
practice for some time and are in the position to place the
authors’ views into the overall context of practice in our
specialty. It would also be a great read for any budding anesthesia
practitioner because it offers very specific and practical advice …
. If you are looking for an enjoyable book to accompany you … give
this book a careful read.” (Jonathan P. Wanderer, Anesthesia &
Analgesia, Vol.127 (1), July, 2018)
“This is an excellent guide to the most common issues
anesthesiologists face on a daily basis, with practical tips on how
to administer anesthesia or handle difficult situations rather than
just dishing out some vague guidance. … The book targets resident
physicians, but I have no doubt that any anesthesiologist would
find it useful … . Overall, this is a brilliant book. … I cannot
think of any other book that serves the same purpose.” (Tariq M.
Malik, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2017)
“The new compilation of their knowledge, Practical Anesthetic
Management—The Art of Anesthesiology , is a must-have for the
library of every anesthesia teaching program in the world, and is
highly recommended for every resident, fellow, and practitioner of
the art of anesthesia as well.” (Richard Novak, The Anesthesia
Consultant, theanesthesiaconsultant.com, November, 2016)
