Reader Reviews
I was so angry with this book that I actually wrote down the errors as I read it so that I could share it with you. I wont hammer you with all of them, just the ones I'm currently reading, from pg 111-123, a mere 12 pages, a fraction of the book's length. pg 111 - 125mg/ml stated in question, changed to 125mg/2ml in the solution on pg 112. pg 115 question #2 - 200mg/ml, changed to 250mg/ml in solution on pg 519. pg 115 question #9 - 250mg/5ml, changed to 125mg/ml in solution on pg 520. pg 118 "PCTB", should be "PTCB" (come on editor, it was in caps and it's the subject of your book) pg 119 "adult dose of a drug is 2m/kg", should be 2mg/kg pg 123 question #9 - the solution is suppose to use clark's rule: (wgt of child/150pd * adult dose), not young's rule: (age of child/(age + 12) * adult dose), instead they use a combo of both: 25lb/(25lb +150lb) * dose. Wrong! At first I was very angry with the errors in this book, but I went through a 12 step program: anger, denial, blame, resentment, ... and finally acceptance. And in the end, I love this book! It's sheer genius! The author and editor piss you off so much you double check all their work, writing down all their errors, rewriting it online to share with you, and commiting it all to long term memory! It's all I can do to refrain from giving this book 5 stars. I only gave it 3 for that rare reader who doesn't have the time to edit the book like I did. Comments (3) | | (Report this)
