"This is a valuable addition to the archives of clinical toxicology and will undoubtedly become the standard for the profession. ... I highly recommend this book as a necessary addition to the professional library of every medical student and resident with an interest in clinical toxicology as well as practitioners at all levels (nurses, fellows, residents, and attending level physicians) of critical care, intensive care, emergency medicine, and clinical and medical toxicology."
