Brilliant Work! May 24, 2005

This is truly an amazing book. I am board certified by the American Board of Phyiscial Medicine & Rehabilitation, American Board of Pain Medicine, American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians, American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine and with Subspeciality Board of Pain Medicine, currently practicing pain management at the Physicians' Pain Specialists of Alabama, Mobile, AL 36607. I am also fellowship trained in Interventional Pain Management. I honestly believe I have come across quite a number of medical books in Medicine, PM&R, EMG/NCS, Neurology and Pain Medicine during my medical training and practice. In my opionion, this is one of the most wonderful medical books that has ever been written.
It is comprehensive, yet concise but most importantly, it is practical. What distinguishes this book from others is that the contents are organized and presented in the most logical order so that what you read make sense and therefore can be easily remembered. The authors did an absolutly superb job in introducing each concept step by step, each chapter building on one another, integrating what is important, practical and pertinent without overkill. I had never been able to read through any medical text book(close to 600 pages, 1st edition) from cover to cover except this one, which I did almost twice. I did it during my GYIII-GYIV Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency because reading it was educational, joyful and rewarding. For a long time, I have wanted to write a few lines, introducing to collegues the wonderful learning experience I had reading this book as well as expressing gratitude to Drs. Preston and Shapiro for making it availabe during my residency training, which helped me trenmendously in studying EMG/NCS. It is extremely useful in helping me prepare the Board Certification Exam by the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine. I recommend this book to all PM&R and Neurology residents as No. 1 text book in EMG/NCS. As a matter of fact, I even recommended this book to my anesthesiologist pain specialist who wants to know more about EMG/NCS. The greatest success of this book is its "readability".
For me, a pain management physician working in a overwhelmingly busy pain clinic, this book also works well as a quick reference book for EMG/NCS as well as for neurological disorders, because time is always too short in private practice.
Must have textbook for neurology residents/fellows December 12, 2005

If you are looking for a solid book to begin learning about EMG/NCS, this is an excellent choice. The text is clear and concise, reflecting the exceptional instructional abilities of Drs. Preston and Shapiro. The text is very "readable" and
organized in a logical fashion with helpful illustrations alongside. A bonus of this book is the CD, which is very user friendly and allows one to establish visual and auditory recognition of basic concepts in the needle study such as spontaneous and voluntary activities. The CD also includes unknowns for a short quiz or review.
