Trauma: Critical Care Volume II

…The editors are eminently qualified and have succeeded in producing an authoritative and
comprehensive textbook on trauma….this two-volume set is an extremely valuable contribution
because of the importance of the subject, the fact that the topic has not been so comprehensively
covered in one text until now, and because of the wisdom of the editors.
-Vice Admiral Richard Henry Carmona, 17th General of the United States of America
…a very compelling and important resource in the management of trauma….strongly recommended.
-Kenneth L. Mattox, Chief of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, U.S.A.
