الكتاب بيتنقل بين مستويات الصعوبة بالنسبة لمبتدئ في تخصص الرعاية المركزة، ودي حاجة لطيفة ومحمسة فاللي قرأ شوية في الرعاية هيلاقي حاجات مألوفة وهيلاقي كمان حاجات بمستوى أصعب عشان يعرف إن لسه فايته أكتر وأكتر، دي تجربتي. وعامة أنصح بيه جدًا لقراءة أولى وثانية وثالثة، الالتزام بالمفاهيم العامة والبسيطة، لكنها أساسية ويعول عليها، أولى وأجدر في تخصصنا من الحشو والشروحات المكررة.
