The Art of Resuscitation [antikvár]

ForewordThe first thought that comes to my mind in reviewing your book is the great number of lives it will save. You have a happy way of presenting things that will attract many a reader, and to read is to learn. To learn from this book means to save human lives. Preventable asphyxiai deaths are still appallingly frequent, and once again you have contributed enormously to the lessening of their number.Just as I agreed with you many years ago that anaesthesiol-ogy must be recognized as an independent department of medical science and clinical work, I quite agree with you now that the time has come for medical schools and hospitals to recognize the fact that Pneumatology is a departmental load that must be taken off the shoulders of the over-burdened anaesthesiologist.Your book merits and will certainly have wide circulation.Philadelphia, Pa.
