Editorial Reviews
Review
This is a well-written, comprehensive book for sports medicine practitioners that details a variety of emergency issues and their management. The authors have developed a fine, pocket-sized manual for immediate referral that would come in handy on the sidelines. It is well thought-out and contains easy-to- read charts, figures, and flowcharts reinforce the material. — Doody's Review
