"20 years at the bedside and nobody ever taught me the WHY"
I'm 47 and I have run every drip in this book a thousand times. knew the doses, not the why. this fixed that in a week. the Q&A format is exactly how my brain works after a long shift. bought two more copies for my new grads.
"walked out of my CRNA interview KNOWING I nailed the pressor questions"
ok so my interview had three vasopressor questions. receptors, the MAP equation, second line agents in septic shock. nailed every single one because of this book. 135 pages, heavily cited, signed by the author. acceptance email came Tuesday. cried in the car.
"the intensivist asked why vaso before epi and I HAD the answer"
I'm a night shift ICU nurse, 4 years in. read this in two weekends and it rewired how I see my drips. levophed, vaso, milrinone, I finally know the WHY. my charge nurse asked to borrow it. absolutely not. buy your own. best $40 of my career.
"the milrinone vs dobutamine chapter settled a year long unit debate"
ICU pharmacist here. it is HEAVILY cited. VASST, ATHOS-3, the actual literature, not vibes. I keep it in the med room and the residents keep stealing it. the methylene blue chapter alone is worth the price. just buy it. seriously.
"my attending asked who taught me pressors. this book did."
IM resident on my ICU rotation. read it in one call weekend and the MAP equation finally means something. presented a septic shock plan and my attending just nodded like I had passed something. the signed copy sits on my desk like a trophy.
