Testimonials

"I recently managed a young man with a posterior right arterial gunshot wound with tamponade and exsanguinating bleeding. I used the invaluable princples in 'Tips from the Masters' to control the hemorrage and repair this challenging wound. My patient went home in seven days and has subsequently returned to work."

"Advanced Trauma Operative Management (ATOM) is without a doubt the best book for trauma. ATOM is unique from the standard trauma textbooks. The book is organized by injury pattern, with the operative management for each scenario written by an expert traumatologist. Reading through the advanced scenarios gives you exposure and guidance on every complex case, so you can be familiar and more confident when that injury rolls into your trauma bay. Every senior resident and practicing attending should have a copy of ATOM on hand."
