Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Did what they said they would Comment: They told me exactly what it would be and it came just the way they said it would. I received it much sooner than I expected. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Resource! Comment: This textbook is an excellent resource for any medical professional interested in how medications work and their possible adverse effects or effect on patient behavior. Customer Rating: Summary: Pharmacology in rehabilitation Comment: Excellent book! Well-written, very easy to understand. This book covers basic neurology, anatomy, and physiology, thus provides an excellent review! It also explains very well in details how drugs act on the body. Highly recommed to physical therapy students, medicine students, and the other medical discipline students. Customer Rating: Summary: Is this book worth it? Comment: I would assume that the majority of people who would buy this book are taking a class in pharmacology. I have had alot of recommended text books that were not worth even taking out of the wrapper, but this book is not one of them. The author's actually spent the time to organize and gather relatively current information and then put a hard cover on it. It's getting harder and harder to get that combination. I gave this a 5 star rating because it really will be a book you will keep and reference after the class is over. Customer Rating: Summary: Pharmacology in Rehabilitation Comment: This is an easy-to-read, very concise and to the point text book. Ciccone does a great job of summarizing each disease process, listing the drugs used in their management, and including excellent case studies as they pertain to rehabilitation. Of particular help were the boxes at the end of each chapter which detailed any rehabilitation concerns that should be addressed in treating patients using particular pharmacological intervention. I actually read this book from start to finish and can claim to have read an entire textbook, a first for me. More Reviews
