I am currently doing the neonatal intensive care course, and I use this book. I find it easily readable. Since english is not my native language, and I haven't studied for a few years this book has motivated me. The text is well written, and the scientific context is well researched. This book helped me to get my knowledge up to specs again. I will be ordering my own copy. Thanks to dr. Merenstein for writing this book. Trix Tromp
