5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest ER Medicine book for the price, November 27, 2008

This review is from: Rosen and Barkin's 5-Minute Emergency Medicine Consult (The 5-Minute Consult Series) (Hardcover)

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.
