Superb!

This is the book you want! If you are doing any kind of Trauma Surgery / ER medicine, this is the boook you want. It is concise, yet beautifully balanced enough to give you what you want at a moment's glance. It can make you look really smart on rounds. All you do is find the injury your pt has and look at the bulleted lists. The lists tell you everything from incidence to common associated injuries to treatment. Cannot say enough good about the book.

Emergent Management of Trauma

This is a compact but detailed practical manual of trauma care. The text is clear and supplemented by high quality tables and illustrations, and is comprehensive. A particular strength is the discussion on advantages and disadvantages of various practical procedures, and I have found this book invaluable as a quick reference in the resuscitaion area. Highly recommended to all emergency medicine trainees.
