Summary: Best friend on call
Comment: This is a handy handbook that quickly becomes indispensible when you are a junior resident on call. It helps you learn how to organize your though process in a logical, systematic manner. It covers all the neurological emergencies. Overall, it is quite useful for the neurologist in training.

Summary: Useful and manageable
Comment: I was asked to write a section on pediatric neurological emergencies, a new feature of this edition. Despite some disgracing of the text introduced after my proofreading of the manuscript that makes my writing appear like my mind was somewhere else at the time, I believe -if I may say so myself- that the little volume is very thoughtfully done for when one's time and concentration are very limited and the expectations from peers and patients are high. The setting we all had in mind was a busy emergency deparment or a hospital ward at a tertiary care hospital. The not so urgent but potentially serious problems are also covered. The unifying thread in all sections is the practical approach to a clinical problem (sign or symptom) and the rationale for the algorythm we all develop over time to deal with such problems. Limitations include generally mediocre illustrations -although I put in a few babies in there for you- and too much reflecting the way "we do things at Columbia". Nevertheless, one may reasonably say that a student of neurology must acquire and master the approach to the patient that the book illustrates, either from reading it or/and by collecting his or her own experiences (good and bad). Remember after all that there are true neurological emergencies that should never be missed at the expense of having a disabling outcome. Best of luck with this or whatever text you choose and remember that every patient everywhere is always in need of the best care.

Summary: A must-have for a med student on neurology
Comment: I am a medical student who plans on becoming a neurologist, and I carry this book with me just to have a quick reference to clinical information about the major categories of neurological disease. The book is broken down by presentation (eg ataxia, weakness, coma, tremor) and gives a quick overview that can be skimmed in 2 minutes, and gives specific management advice.
The book doesn't give comprehensive info about any topics, but it isn't meant to...it's just the best way to make your way through seeing neuro patients in the ER or on call.
