حجم کتاب برای خوندن تو یکی دو روز و امتحان‌دادن واقعن زیاده! البته انقد هم مطالب رو تکرار کرده که گاهی اوقات حوصله آدم رو سر می‌بره. بعضی وقتا هم مالامد خیلی احساسی و معنوی می‌شه که انگار کتاب اخلاق نوشته. لحنش احتمالن خوب بوده که ترجمش هم خوب در اومده. در کل کتاب خوبیه.

local anesthesia .. theoretically good book , despite reusing words , and repeating things many many times in unnecessary places as in every single preparation for each technique repeat same 3 points , then practically i see it , that it is poor book , techniqauliy it talke about something that i couldn't be practices at clinical , and over all the book have many antagonistic sentences and terms that confuse dental students as well as dentists .
