Very easy read textbook with good information. Not quite as much detail as Tintinelli, but nice layout with presenting complaint, disease, discussion, pitfalls and patient disposition. Would recommend this as a reference/study guide for EM residents.

An outstanding reference text in Emergency Medicine. Logically organized, well written, easy to read. If you only buy one book, this should be it.
