Review :
From the reviews: “This new book is a welcome contribution to literature. … The target group is primarily doctors in training, but also experienced surgeons, and radiologists gastromedisinere will find useful knowledge. … the content is supported by many instructive pictures … and tables / figures that make the book varied and easy to overview. … The overall impression is that this is a broad and very practical review of the topic of gastrointestinal bleeding, and I recommend the book for all education candidates in gastrofaget.” (T. Grimstad, Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening, October, 2010)
