"The Oxford Textbook of Anaesthesia is a viable alternative to other standards and makes a wonderful addition for both the general anesthesiologist and the seasoned subspecialist looking to round out his or her collection." - Brett J. Elmore, MD, and Edward C. Nemergut, MD, Anesthesia and Analgesia
