Pros: I liked the easygoing descriptions from the author of some chaptyers.

Cons: I feel there's better books in Spanish about the general topics in the initial chapters without being so refuscado so to say. I always felt some chapters in this book needed to slim the text a bit and get to the point in some chapters, whereas it felt needing of more information in other chapters. For topics like the engineering aspects of vaporizers and anesthesia machines as a whole, the Spanish language PAC book series wins over any English language book I have ever read.

I don't remember if this was the book, but I have a hunch this is the infamous book with a missing zero in the Suphentanyl TIVA graph. I would have to look it up, but if this is the book, I feel horrified how many near misses happened by such a critical typo.

However, for the standards of chonky English language textbooks, the Morgan is an okay enough read.

I used to refer to this book in my Anesthesiology course in medical school. the book may seem dense, large, with over one thousand pages. but when you start reading about a certain subject, you will notice the information is so brief, so shallow. You need to refer to other books and articles. I don't recommend it for studying nor gaining knowledge to practice basic Anesthesiology.

One of my favorite books about Anesthesiology.

This is a straightfoward, clear reading. It presents all the relevant topics in anesthesiology in a interesting manner. Recommended as a objective reference in the specialty.
