Reviews for Clinical Practice Manual for Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
This is one of the most unique and high-yield writing on this topic that I have come across, by an author who is obviously a very astute clinician and an expert in his field. I highly recommend this book to every internal medicine resident and pulmonary/critical care fellow in training. Reviewed by Santosh Dhungana, MD (Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine)
