Pressezitat
"This is a collection of reports from natural and manmade mass casualty situations with high level statistics in some cases and bedside clinical pearls in others. ... Providers in trauma centers including surgeons, anesthesiologists, and emergency medicine specialists are an appropriate audience. ... As experience in this area is sporadic and unpredictable, this is a worthwhile reference for these providers who could encounter the sudden need to treat victims of these events." (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
