I highly recommend this very special book for all generalists. It is beautifully written for the learner and easy to follow with fantastic illustrations, scans, photos and digital media. This indispensable book will allow you to acquire and apply this increasingly critical skill to provide the highest quality of care to all patients you see and in whatever setting you see them.
Extreme medicine is changing, aided significantly by the development of ultrasound technology, which can help clinical and logistical decision-making in pre hospital and remote settings, positively impacting the patient journey. The fantastic portability, battery longevity, and increasing functionality opens a doorway to medicine never before available. This book provides a substantial foundation of learning for primary care providers operating in low resource areas with applications highlighted across the gamut of physiological settings from high altitude medicine, tactical settings and on to polar and tropical medicine with numerous stops along the way! If you are looking for a skill set that offers a diagnostic adjunct to your clinical practice that also offers portability and flexibility in a developing field, then 'Ultrasound for the Generalist' should be your base camp resource.
I have learned a lot as we rarely perform chest ultrasound in radiology anymore. This book would have been really helpful to me as a radiology registrar when I used to get called to scan patients on ITU.
