Also, effects of poisoning on specific organ systems are covered. The chapters are appropriate for a primary care physician audience and address poisonings by medications, environmental agents and nonprescription drugs commonly seen by primary care physicians with busy clinical practices. A brief appendix provides conversions of toxicologic laboratory values. The chapters are well written, readable and contain accurate and current information. Tables are liberally used to increase information quantity and ease of retrieval.
Information is easy to locate in most instances.
Otherwise, chapters appear to be accurately referenced throughout the text. I believe the textbook is well designed for its targeted audience. Its greatest value will be as a textbook for physicians needing general reference information and for primary care physicians who desire additional patient-related information beyond that supplied by poison control centers and other reference texts. It would be a good choice as the single poisoning textbook for libraries of practicing family physicians or primary care residency programs. A person viewing it online may make one printout of the material and may use that printout only for his or her personal, non-commercial reference.
