This book is a "should" to a "must-read" for anyone wishing to have better than the most basic understanding of fluids, electrolytes, and enteral /parenteral nutrition therapy. Dr. Pestana starts with the basics and continues through to practical bedside therapeutics. I wish there were a newer edition (for typeset, tables, etc.), but the concepts and facts as presented in this brief text will not change appreciably over time.
Dr Pestana taught my F&E down at St George's USOM in Grenada. He was as brilliant a speaker as could be and this book does his lectures justice. I have easily retained the education he imparted to me through this volume and his lectures. Be a better doctor and read this. Youll be amazed how poorly udnerstood this topic is and how porrly maintained patients on IVF are after you read this. Thanks once again Dr. P.
This book is a lifesaver (maybe literally, when I start my internship!). It made F+E comprehensible for the first time ever. Yeah, I understood bits and pieces before, but my intuitive understanding has grown exponentially since reading this small book. Every fourth year medical student should read this. Dr. Pestana, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

must read for 4th year medstuds and surgical interns
Great book! Just as described
I purchased one of the "new" books and received the 3rd edition, published in 1985. Unfortunately, does not require outside venders to list the ISBN number - which changes with new editions.
