The practice of medicine is an art and a science, and is evolving daily as new
discoveries are made. Each individual medical provider is responsible for the
individual medical care provided to each patient. Each provider must assess the
patient and determine the specific clinical needs and most appropriate treatment
for that patient. This book is not meant to be a substitute for medical
practitioners or good clinical judgment, nor does it intend to determine the
standards of medical care in any given situation.

Though efforts have been made by everyone who contributed to this book to
provide the most accurate information, medical practice changes and human
error does occur. Neither the authors or editor, nor the U.S. Government or any
other party involved in the preparation of this book, warrants that this information
is complete and accurate, and they are not responsible for the results obtained
