Gerry's real world guide to pharmacokinetics & other things - G.M. Woerlee

Read how Doctor Gerry, the main character in this book, uses no more than common sense and simple arithmetic to teach his sometimes unwilling SHO, Doctor Bob, how to apply pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles to acquire profound insights into many aspects of drug use during general anaesthesia, and even how to view the enthusiastic claims of drug company representatives. Furthermore, readers will learn to calculate why operations seem to end just as the patient is finally under anaesthesia, whether nursing mothers can resume breastfeeding immediately after undergoing operations, how long people can survive without breathing, the application of Nietzsche to anaesthetic training, as well as many 'other things' all practical anaesthetists really want to know. "Gerry's Real World Guide to Pharmacokinetics and Other Things" is different to all other books dealing with pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Yet, despite its sometimes blunt and 'tongue in cheek' approach, this is a serious textbook written by an anaesthetist with years of experience teaching these subjects.
