Reviews

From the reviews: "This book focuses on the essential skills necessary to diagnose and treat stroke patients. … the book does a great job of helping clinicians recognize the difference and choose the correct treatments. Primary care clinicians … are the intended audience. … This is a valuable addition to every primary care clinician’s personal library. It is complete and easy to read."
