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
