Book Description
Bleeding disorders have been recognized throughout history from biblical times to the spread of hemophilia throughout Europe by the descendants of Queen Victoria. A bleeding patient requires prompt action on the part of the physician, and this book aims to improve patient outcomes by making the facts about these disorders more readily accessible. This valuable book begins by describing normal hemostatic mechanisms, and then goes on to discuss the wide variety of conditions that can cause hemorrhage, together with their diagnosis and up-to-date treatment.
