We are mortified. We modified the print file to correct a small typo, and the pagination reset to 1 with each chapter! All of the content is the same, but the page numbers are incorrect, which renders the index unusable. If this is not a problem for you, you can get one of these books at a steep discount. If you received one by accident, let us know and we will make it right.

It is difficult to remain proficient in skills so seldom practiced, yet pregnant women rely on the expertise of the provider in an emergency.

Gruenberg, carries the reader from the initial steps of intervention though definitive care, balancing a friendly tone and visual appeal with authoritative and clinically useful information. It is loaded with mnemonics and other memory aids, and is richly illustrated with the author's artful drawings and photography. Award Winning!
