Books Recently Published by Our Faculty
 Toxicology Recall - A complete, concise review of clinical toxicology written primarily for third and fourth year medical students. The book is written in the rapid-fire question-and-answer format of the Recall Series, with the question appearing on the left side of the page and the answer appearing on the right. Major sections cover evaluation of the poisoned patient, medications, drugs of abuse, environmental and industrial toxins, heavy metals, pesticides, chemical agents of terrorism, natural toxins, therapies, and visual diagnosis in medical toxicology.
 Visual Diagnosis in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine - Containing high quality images, this book presents the common visual diagnoses that are either pathognomonic or suggestive of specific illnesses. Organized randomly as a patient would present their 'chief complaint' rather than neatly into topics, this book is an invaluable aid for all health care personnel who manage patients in acute care settings. This book is also ideal for national examination review.
