Customer Reviews

Greatest ER Medicine book for the price

On a dollar for dollar basis this is the best ER text for practical use IN THE DEPARTMENT during a busy ER shift. The layout of the book, 1 diagnosis per 2 pages (every diagnosis fits nicely on the left and right hand pages of the opened text). It quickly highlights the presentation of illness with signs and symptoms, the necessary workup (labs, x-rays, additional studies) and recommended dispositions (admit vs discharge). It WILL NOT give you an in depth discussion of the disease process, you must make the diagnosis, but it rapidly allows you to get your essential workup started.

Phenomenal text for quick review

Great for reviewing most everything you'll come across in the ER. If you need to brush up on certain topics while working quick and to the point.

My favorite reference

This is a crucial tool when you're on a busy shift in the ED. It's a practical reference, not a study guide. A patient comes in with radiation keratitis. Do you use steroid drops? Beats me. Thats when I go to this baby. This is my most used reference. Very well organized and easy to use.

Great Book

This is a short-hand, easy to reference version of the full sized Rosen's. It is incredibly useful and easy to use. Great for use in the ED while on a shift or for reading quickly on a subject that you want to learn more about.

concise and easy guide

As a nurse practitioner in an urgent care setting, I have found this book a valuable tool. It is quick and easy to use, yet there is detailed information at my fingertips. It is one of the first books I pull out when I have a question regarding care.
