"I can strongly recommend this book to everyone involved
in small animal emergencies." (Veterinary Times,
9 April 2012)
"This is a great book for veterinarians in general practice as well
as those in training. No other book (to my knowledge) in veterinary
medicine addresses medical errors and communication issues from the
point of view of a specialist. This book is extremely useful
and provides great learning material based on past experiences in
order to prevent future errors." (Doody's, 29 July 2011)

"Worth reading several times... This book is an easy and
interesting read and is very accessible... it is a book that I
believe is useful for both experienced and newly-graduated vets and
also nurses, as not only are clinical aspects broached, there is
also a large focus on communication." (Veterinary Practice,
May 2011)

"In my opinion, most cases in this book would make a great
discussion starter for staff meetings / clinical audit meetings.
The book should be required reading for all interns and residents
in the relevant fields. It is an excellent resource for anyone who
deals with emergency or critically ill patients, filling a
particular need that is not met by other textbooks." (Veterinary
Record, April 2011)
