5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have book for practicing emergency physicians, July 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Clinical Procedures in Emergency Medicine, Third Edition (Hardcover)

This new edition of a classic text is essential for the busy emergency physician. Not only does it give clear instructions for performing procedures, it also provides relevant information about pathophysiology. Indication and contraindications are explained. Numerous helpful tables assist in the interpretation of test results. This book is much more than a how-to manual, and no emergency department should be without it.

This review is from: Clinical Procedures in Emergency Medicine, Third Edition (Hardcover)

I am an EMT working toward a degree in nursing or PA. I saw this book being used in the ER at UVA Medical Center and had to have it. It has been a great learning tool for me. I would recomend anyone practicing emergency medicine to add this book to your library.
