Rezensionen / Stimmen
Respiratory Care, Volume 50, Issue 4 -- "It is a pleasure to read and learn from a text that attempts to translate textbook information into readable and memorable case-by-case prose. I must credit this book with helping me gain much initial knowledge to begin my thoracic surgical training. This is a text that can be useful not only in the setting of thoracic surgery training but also in thoracic surgery practice, both private and academic. Overall, the text is a wonderful way to relate textbook topics as captivating case scenarios that allow for ease of learning without confusing minute details. This book may be one way to quickly review for an exam, or perhaps gain memorable clinical experience prior to a specific new case as a thoracic surgical trainee or junior attending. All in all, this text is valuable for its memorable and captivating way to learn about thoracic surgery and study for board exams. Case presentations take advantage of the need for more interactive teaching in the adult learner, and present the material in a practical way similar to how we see it in practice."
