Ok, here is the reading list for Anesthesia & Analgesia. Some of these
are books that we have in the library at ACCES, some may be ones that
specific people have their own copies of, some of these are from past
issues of the Vet Tech magazine, some we may not have direct acces to.
It is not imperative that everything on these lists be read, this is
just an example of some good source material if you want to expand
your knowledge in these areas. Please note: do not take any books from
ACCES home unless you get express permission from Beth or Jean to do
so. The books at ACCES are for the vets there to reference as needed
for their patients and it is important that they have acces to them at
all times. Thanks!!
