"Earlier I didn't have a good understanding of toxic and metabolic brain injuries. Now I feel confident about differentiating the patterns and arriving at a differential diagnosis."
"It's a very good overview of toxic and metabolic disorders. I like the schematic overview. One sight and all differentials are in mind, so it's easy to find the most likely diagnosis."
"I know now how to differentiate acute hepatic encephalopathy from uremic encephalopathy and hypoglycemic encephalopathy for HIE!"
