Index

"The current acceleration in medical discoveries parallels Moore's law for computer chips. In the 1950's medical knowledge doubled every 50 years, by the 1980's it doubled every 7 years and now medical knowledge is estimated to double about every two months (1). How can busy obstetricians keep pace? Through 7 editions Protocols for High-Risk Pregnancies has helped address this exact challenge. Providing just-in-time content, its focus on protocols and guidelines helps organize medical thinking, avoid heuristic errors of omission and commission and optimize maternal and fetal outcomes"--
