David Muir

My library Brymor Jones Library are disappointed that no digital version is available. However, they have purchased a copy and I have also brought my own copy. I teach critical nurses and this book is excellent and is easy to read and very informative. I was very interested that it is a nursing textbook with well-known Editors and a gratifying list of practitioners and clinicians.
