Please give a man a page.

I have been asked to find one page from Murray and Nadel's Textbook of Respiratory Medicine. Specifically, the page where the "Acute Pulmonary Responses to Toxic Exposures" section begins (maybe page 1906?). I have exhausted all libraries in my area. This is needed today, so I don't have time to order the book and overnight it.

Hopefully someone with the book will see this and respond, but if not, have you checked the libraries at LSU School of Medicine and Tulane (and whatever other med schools are in your area)? Also, if you get really desperate you could always email the author and plead for a scan.

Have you seen this AskMe question?

By "order the book," I'm not sure if you mean buy it or do interlibrary loan etc.

But if you are willing to buy it, you can access to e-textbook immediately with a purchase.

WorldCat says it's in the following places in Louisiana (sorry for the caps):

LOUISIANA STATE UNIV, HEALTH SCI CTR
TULANE UNIV, MED CTR LIBR
VETERANS ADMIN MED CTR, NEW ORLEANS

I assume this is for something law-related. Medical libraries deal with law firms and so forth coming in for things every day, so I'm sure they have some procedure worked out by which you'd be able to go in a get a photocopy. It's at least worth a call.

Best answer: Go here. You want chapter 64.

If you click for access, you will ultimately wind up at MD consult.

You can get a 30 day free trial. And for students there is a cheap ongoing plan if you so choose. So try it and cancel.

Good luck.
