Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care: Case Studies in Client
Communication, Morbidity and Mortality provides a unique
opportunity to learn from real-life case examples. Presented as a
collection of short case studies, the book examines a wide range of
situations likely to arise in emergency practice.

The approach is modeled on the Morbidity and Mortality
Conferences which were first established as a training and
educational tool for medical doctors. They have now been
successfully adopted in veterinary medicine as a forum for case
review and learning opportunities, encouraging thorough review from
different perspectives.

Each chapter presents a real case, and highlights the pitfalls
that both novice and experienced veterinarians can encounter. A key
theme of the book is on communication issues. Owner perspectives
are discussed, as well as how communications between
clinicians and owners can be optimized to allow veterinarians to
better meet owner expectations.

The cases were provided by a variety of experienced
veterinarians, primarily specialists in veterinary emergency and
critical care, as well as other specialties, general practice,
universities, and private institutions.

This highly readable book is suitable either to absorb from
cover to cover, or for reference to a specific case or situation.
It highlights a number of common clinical problems and
communication issues that either did or may lead to difficulties in
case management, helping you to avoid these situations.

Rezensionen

"I can strongly recommend this book to everyone involved
in small animal emergencies." (Veterinary Times,
9 April 2012)
"This is a great book for veterinarians in general practice as well
as those in training. No other book (to my knowledge) in veterinary
medicine addresses medical errors and communication issues from the
point of view of a specialist. This book is extremely useful
and provides great learning material based on past experiences in
order to prevent future errors." (Doody's, 29 July 2011)

"Worth reading several times... This book is an easy and
interesting read and is very accessible... it is a book that I
believe is useful for both experienced and newly-graduated vets and
also nurses, as not only are clinical aspects broached, there is
also a large focus on communication." (Veterinary Practice,
May 2011)

"In my opinion, most cases in this book would make a great
discussion starter for staff meetings / clinical audit meetings.
The book should be required reading for all interns and residents
in the relevant fields. It is an excellent resource for anyone who
deals with emergency or critically ill patients, filling a
particular need that is not met by other textbooks." (Veterinary
Record, April 2011)
