Review:

“This is a thorough overview of metabolic, diabetic, and endocrine emergencies. ... The book is very readable and would be appropriate for almost any medical student or practitioner. Because it covers a narrow topic, it would be most appropriate for those with a particular interest in endocrinology. ... There are a number of tables, images, and drawings to illustrate key concepts.” (Michael D. Zwank, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2015)
