Chris_Harper Rating: 5/5 Nov 11, 2002 15:09 Send this review to a friend Very thorough  Time owned: more than 12 months Since I am a snakebite instructor in North America, this would have to rank as one of my favorites. Although treatment of snakebite is constantly being altered, most of this book will be timeless. This book pre-dates CroFab, but the general premises of antivenom administration will still hold true. I have implemented many of Russell's treatment concepts with good success. I'm a fan.
