Reviews and Notes: Neurology: The Management of Head Injuries

FULL TEXT
David G. Currie. 190 pages. New York: Oxford Univ Pr; 1994. $55.00.
The author, a consultant neurosurgeon at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland, points out that head trauma is common and that neurosurgeons are not often the first physicians to examine an injured patient. He describes this book as a practical handbook rather than a textbook; the introduction includes a list of the decisions facing the doctor with primary responsibility for head injuries, including: Who should have a skull radiograph? Who should be hospitalized? What is the risk for an intracranial hematoma? Who should have a computed tomographic scan?
