A 45-Year Obsession and Passionate Pursuit of Optimal Nutrition Support: Puppies,Pediatrics,Surgery,Geriatrics,Home TPN,A.S.P.E.N.,Et Cetera

Abstract

A candid account of the many innovations, fundamental developments and discoveries in the evolution and successful clinical application of parenteral nutrition; and its subsequent stimulus to providing optimal nutrition support, to the founding of A.S.P.E.N., and to inducing changes in the way medicine is practiced today.
