Current Surgical Diagnosis And Treatment

I need a reference about surgery when i am on a course in minor surgery. I ask my friends about which book is clearly give information about surgery. He said that Current Surgical Diagnosis And Treatment is a great book about surgery. This medical surgery books contains 47 chapters by surgeons and medical practitioners from the US who discuss the diagnosis and treatment of about 1000 diseases and disorders. The focus is on major diagnostic features and brief descriptions of disease processes. Epidemiology, pathophysiology, pathology, and general medical and surgical topics are incorporated. Chapters are grouped by organ system as well as by topics such as preparation, postoperative care, surgical complications, and pediatric surgery. This edition has been updated to cover modern surgical care, including colon/rectal surgery, and new information on power sources in the operating room. The chapter on special problems, including pregnancy and older patients, has been rewritten. Other revisions are to chapters on injured patients, the esophagus and diaphragm, the liver and portal venus systems, oncology, and organ transplantation. Current Surgical Diagnosis And Treatment is an excellent preparation for a general surgery rotation. This medical book reviews all the anatomy and then all of the pathology that is associated with each body section. I highly recommend Current Surgical Diagnosis And Treatment for 3rd and 4th year medical students and those beyond looking for reference about surgery.

The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Edition

David A. Lessnau was really worried that this book might have been a standard new-age, make-a-buck, quack title. Thank goodness that turned out to be a groundless worry. This is an excellent medical book (with medical references) that does a very good job of helping you get rid of pain. David A. Lessnau had hurt his lower back by performing the arduous task of putting on his underwear. The medical doctors and physical therapist could not really come up with a reason for it. After a month, it still wasn't getting any better. Searching the web gave him references to this book. Within three days of reading it and poking around in his UPPER (not LOWER) back, his thighs, and his abdomen, the pain has faded to just a reminder. He is still not able to bend and reach like he used to. But, He is exercising and stretching again, so hopefully that'll change. Best of all, it no longer hurts just to SIT (or lie down or stand, for that matter). After showing his wife that her lower body has just about every active trigger point known, she is also reading this medical book and working on her points. Hopefully, her pain will reduce in a couple of days, too.

The only reason David A. Lessnau gave this book four stars instead of five is that it's kind of hard to find and reference ALL the trigger points associated with a specfic pain FOR THE FIRST TIME. The book does have a diagram for pain locations at the start of each chapter. But, in many cases, the pain will be caused by multiple trigger points in multiple body locations. It takes quite a bit of paging through the book to figure out what you are supposed to do. Once you figure it out, though, this medical book is great. Of course, in the author's defense, David A. Lessnau can not come up with a better organization method outside of having some kind of software with an anatomical display using hyperlinks.

David A. Lessnau HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book if you suffer from any kind of chronic pain. Even if your medical doctor has pronounced judgement that he/she knows what's causing things, try this book. As the author says, trigger point therapy should be the first course of medical treatment: it's easy and cheap.
