5.0 out of 5 stars Nice to have for refreshing or reinforcement, February 3, 2011

This review is from: ECG in Emergency Medicine and Acute Care (Paperback)

A good book with many examples that refresh or review with time on your hand. I had it during my CCU rotation because I could not recall what was talked about in the Cardiology Review in school. Easy to review in the book, plenty of examples and lots of brief reads that break to "BIG" into digestible bites.
Best thing was that over lunch, I could review what we had done on rounds that morning and that helped improve confidence.
Also was nice to have while away from the clinic. Doing remote medicine in Iraq had been concerning because never seem to have all the references you want. This book was great to have while deployed. A great reference for the regular provider.
