"Not only does this book cover gastrointestinal emergencies and how to treat them endoscopically, it also addresses preprocedure considerations, and risks, as well as guidelines and the data behind the current recommendations. ... The intended audience is gastrointestinal professionals. It also could be useful for other medical professionals because it covers the basics and the proper workup prior to a referral to a gastroenterologist. ... This is an excellent book."
