Customer Reviews

Excellent book.

This is an excellent book. Very readable. It utilizes primarily a sign and symptom-based layout with many useful suggestions on how to approach many common as well as not so common ED presentations. It is 900 pages and has many good pictures and diagrams. The index is very good as well. For a quick reference when there is not extensive time to research a topic, as well as for a straight read, this book is solid.

Excellent for medical students

This is perhaps the best book for a MS4 in a EM rotation. It can be covered completely in a month, without going "balls to the walls" crazy while studying. Highlights differentials and treatments, less on the pathophys. side. Med students need something to cover in a month, and this is the best that I've read.

Great Clinical Text

As a medical student, I thought this book covered everything you would ever want to know about the emergency medicine clinic and beyond. Great information that applies some of the most recent medical research to the world of clinical medicine. Very up to date.
