I read through almost all of this book while on an anesthesiology rotation during 4th year of medical school. I quickly came to find out that most people headed into anesthesiology at my institution had read the book cover to cover several times, and they all seem to think that it is a fair resource, though not great. My line of thought tends to be along those lines. The good things about this book are that it is incredibly simplistic. Any 3rd or 4th year medical student should have no problem taking in the information in this book, and that goes without question for interns as well. The text is very friendly and quickly readable; however, the flip side to this is that it lacks impressionability. Though certain principles are explained at a preschool level, they aren't sounded out with enough emphasis to help a young anesthesiologist make difficult decisions. I was frequently getting to the end of a chapter and wondering what in the world I had just read. There are tables and charts that help drive home concepts and do a good job of summarizing textual information, but if I was a young anesthesiologist, I would still feel uneasy using this book as a primary source or a reference. The other qualm I have in regards to the text is that is extremely redundant. For example, the cardiology section goes over each type of pathology and how anesthesia should be optimized for each condition, but the recommendations are nearly identical for all of the conditions. In other words, you continually read the exact same thing over and over again for pages. They could have summarized the entire chapter by doing a bullet point saying, "Ensure hemodynamic stability of patients with cardiac disease." I became additionally frustrated with the books attempt to explain pathology.
