An amazing amount of information in a compact format. This handbook condenses the gold standard emergency medicine text (Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine) into a format you can carry around.

All the conditions you will encounter in the emergency room are included. Pathophysiology, diagnosis, key points, clinical protocols and management issues are covered such as:

Resuscitative Problems and Techniques
Shock
Analgesia, Anesthesia and Sedation
Emergency Wound Management
Cardiovascular Diseases
Pulmonary Emergencies
Gastrointestinal Emergencies
Renal and Genitourinary Disorders
Gynecology and Obstetrics
Pediatrics
Infectious Diseases/Immunology
Toxicology
Environmental Injuries
Endocrine Emergencies
Hematologic and Oncologic Emergencies
Neurology
Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat and Oral Emergencies
Disorders of the Skin
Trauma
Fractures and Dislocations
Muscular, Ligamentous and Rheumatic Disorders
Psychosocial Disorders
Abuse and Assault

...and that's just the main sections. This portable wealth of knowledge not only will help one prepare for exams on emergency medicine it serves as an excellent, comprehensive reference on the job.

I like it because you can't carry the complete Tintinalli around but you can certainly carry this around and not really know the difference in terms of information retrieval.

It is continually updated, meticulously edited and is reviewed by the best experts in each area of expertise. If you are in an emergency room, this is the indispensable guide. This companion handbook has a remarkable amount of data for its size and other pocket handbooks do not come close. Yes, the price is worth the information, you get what you pay for and if you are doing emergency medicine, you've got to have it.

If you are going to carry a reference, why not carry the standard in the field?
