The definitive text for dentists, lawyers, & consultants!, 12 Feb 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Handbook of Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office (Paperback)
Dr. Malamed's book sets the standard for managing emergencies in the dental office; I remember it from my oral surgery rotation in 1985-86. Almost anyone knows his name and this book shows why! Buy it and read it before it is needed (at an inopportune time)!

The Standard of Care for Dental Office Medical Emergencies, 31 Mar 2011
By kone "kone" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office (Paperback)
This is the definitive textbook on medical emergencies in the dental office.
Dentists do not get a comprehensive medical education simply because there is no time for such a detailed education in the 4+ years of dental school. This book fills in the gap for the dental practitioner. The book is organized in such a fashion so that the dental staff learns to recognize a dental emergency early, and then according to specific algorithms, the appropriate treatment is rendered (until emergency staff arrives). Keeping the patient alive until emergency care arrives is the primary duty of the dental staff. Too many dentists buy an emergency kit full of emergency drugs (that they don't perhaps know how to use properly), yet somehow feel they are covered from liability. Having an emergency kit and not knowing how to use it actually creates more liability for the dental office.
This is a book that every dental professional should examine page by page from cover to cover until a firm understanding of recognizing medical emergencies is ingrained. I bought this copy so that I could review it each year, as one loses knowledge that is not used. Since medical emergencies (thankfully) do not happen each week or month, knowledge of medical emergency treatment slowly slips away like a leaky sieve. It has to be bolstered regularly, and fortunately, this is the book that the dental professional can rely upon to recognize dental/medical emergencies, and then render appropriate treatment. Once mastered, this book'sinformation will give the dentist and his/her staff confidence in treating virtually all medical emergencies that could happen in the dental environment. Dr. Stanley Malamed is the authority in this field, and his book is an absolute essential for every dental office. Better to have this book than a kit full of emergency medications!

new, kinda disappointed, 21 Jan 2012

This review is from: Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office (Paperback)
I ordered this book new, although it was wrapped in plastic the corners and pages look roughed up. It arrived in plenty of time with my late ordering, rushing to head back to school.
Listmania!
