"This book provides practical guidance and clinical insight for the assessment and management of a wide variety of adrenal disorders using cased-based learning. It is a helpful resource for practitioners and trainees alike, especially for reviewing rarely seen cases with expert advice." -©Doody’s Review Service, 2022, Marcelo Ramirez, M.D. (Cook County Health)
