excellent book by JJ You (ChangHua, Taiwan)  5 Stars
April 30, 2009
Most of the books concerning about medical device safety is only a lot of jargons. This book did not. The authors takes a lot of examples and show you "Why", "How it happen", "How to prevent the accident". This is a very interesting book. I strongly suggest reading it for anyone who works in hospital.
