From the popular series in JAMA comes a state of the art book from the authors who coined the term evidence-based medicine. Edited by Gordon Guyatt, MD, and Drummond Rennie, MD, this highly innovative book enables physicians to quickly grasp efficient ways to use published literature in their clinical practice to improve their caregiving to patients. A fully searchable and hyperlinked CD, co-edited by Robert Hayward, MD, is included with each book. With the most current evidence based medicine thinking, you can understand how to individualize evidence to each patient, obtain tips on how to find the information you need and how to make the optimal use of it in your practice, balance benefits and risks that precede medical management decisions, distinguish between strong and weak evidence, and understand detailed critical appraisal and summarization of evidence.

The author John L. Fox shares his many years of teaching and surgery through more than three hundred illustrations and photographs (including over one hundred in color). Dr. Fox has published many works on neuroscience and clinical neurosurgery and is well-known for his color images of live neurosurgical anatomy as viewed through the operating microscope.
