"It would be a useful reference in that setting because it presents
classic examples of entities that clinicians are most likely to
encounter in an inpatient setting." (Doody's, 30 September 2011)

"In conclusion, Kaplan and Nguyen have bravely created a book
"in the middle", between a detailed electrophysiology textbook (a
"comprehensive tome"), a case book, and an atlas; this book is
worth reading, but probably not during rounds." (The Lancet
Neurology, 1 April 2011)
