Emergency Medicine is not divided into specific areas of practice. Emergency room visitors come in all shapes and sizes, at any time of day or night, with a wide range of maladies. Emergency physicians need to become experts in diverse areas of medicine and to be able to make quick and informed decisions about patient care. A cornerstone of emergency medicine training is the constant drilling and re-drilling of simulated cases and clinical scenarios. This book offers a unique yet underutilized strategy for a case-based approach from real patients and actual events. Each case provides the opportunity for learning essential clinical concepts. Focused exclusively on the needs of in-training emergency physicians and nurses, the book covers more than 100 common and unusual cases in emergency medicine. The procedures have been class-tested by the Stanford/Kaiser Emergency Medicine Residency Program.
The case presentation format of this text is a great way to learn -- it catches my attention and keeps it since each summary is short and sweet. I enjoyed the diagnostic challenge of each case and the immediate gratification of each case review. There are photos, lab results, xrays and EKGs for each presentation to help bring the cases to life. It's more fun than opening a textbook and reading through each condition. Great choice of cases and very nicely written with attention to detail. This will be a nice addition to your library, especially if you're tired of the same old Tintanelli and Rosen. The cases are bread and butter, with a twist, so you can buff up on your differentials. Entertainment like no other. Great job!
