Foreword
Dr. Greenspan is the author of an excellent textbook on an important subject that has had very little recent update. It comprises 14 sections covering important and current information that very accurately involves the diagnosis of the acute abdomen. Each section by Dr. Greenspan, and by physicians with special interests and expertise in various components, is well organized and has helpful information for those involved in the practice of obstetrics. This textbook is well written and easily readable. It provides prompt access to information on a subject that may at times require expedited action.
