Biography

Laurence J. Street

Clinical Procedures for Medical Technology Specialists describes more than 80 diagnostic and therapeutic clinical procedures from a wide variety of medical specializations. … I can recommend the book to all paramedical staff including biomedical equipment technicians and all those involved in medical technology management. The book starts with an introductory chapter that provides information about the administration and departments of a hospital, medical and nonmedical professionals working in a hospital, medical and nonmedical professionals working in a hospital, outside agencies, surgery and surgical teams, and anesthesia machines. … the main part of the book , describes clinical procedures. … The book is a very good encyclopedic resource to learn about various procedures and can be helpful to staff in a hospital. … All procedure descriptions are formatted in a similar manner and supported with the information in the introduction chapter and the appendices. This makes the book a very valuable resource.
