"This book is outstanding. It is packed with information and amazingly comprehensive for its size. It uses a "just the facts" approach. If one is looking for a condensed version of an emergency medicine textbook, this is the book. It is the best in its class. This latest edition includes helpful color plates of dermatologic conditions and contemporary information on bioterrorism, SARS, West Nile virus and toxicology."--Doody's Review Service

Condenses the essential clinical content from the premier text Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide. Includes color photos of dermatologic and ophthalmic conditions, pharmacologic considerations throughout, and tables of critical differential diagnoses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Tool for a ER rotation, March 10, 2006

This review is from: Emergency Medicine Manual (Paperback)

So far, the Emergency Medicine Manual has been a great asset to have while doing my ER rotation. It fits conveniently into my coat pocket and after seeing a patient, I can quickly read up on whatever I suspect is main diagnosis, and therefore appear smart when I am being pimped by a resident or an attending. I would recommend it to anyone considering doing ER.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Emergency Medicine Manual (Paperback)

I am a Emergency Room Physician Assistant and I find that I use this book almost every day for reference. It has been well worth the money.Altho it is one of the less expensive texts I have run across. It is small and easy to carry around.Make sure to put your name on it or it will definitely grow legs and be adopted by someone else.

3.0 out of 5 stars Handy book, March 21, 2006

By 

Martin Reader (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Emergency Medicine Manual (Paperback)

I purchased this book to back me up in my clinical year instead of carrying the big and great Tintinalli's "Emergency Med." I think this little version does a good job in giving a concise information on emergency medicine.
