I believe that sections of the handbook would be an extremely useful read for all members of the healthcare team involved in the management of patients in the perioperative period including office personnel, preadmission, PACU, and floor nursing staff, as all can affect the expectations and allay the anxiety of our patients.

Norman H. Rappaport, Aesthetic Surgery Journal
