4.0 out of 5 stars very usefull, and nice to read, February 8, 2002

Francesco Falaschi (Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Emergency Medicine Secrets, 2e (Paperback)

When I started work in an emergency department this book gave me many tips to solve some difficult cases. It is written in a way you can read it for few minutes in between patient visits in your night shift. The readability is high and you never get bored because it fixes every question in few lines (maximum 20 but mostly less than 10).
Obviously it is not really comprehensive, due to the small dimension and the question-response format; but it is sufficient also to study on it for examinations. It requires at least a basic understandig of medicine and it is not interesting for a lay person in many chapters.

5.0 out of 5 stars great intern guide, May 11, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Emergency Medicine Secrets: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access, 4e (Paperback)

This book is a great guide for medical students who want to go into emergency medicine, it is short enough to read in a month but long enough to cover a lot. I recommend reading it before or during your fourth year emergency rotation and again between the end of fourth year and the beginning of your intern year. Carry it with you as a reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for EM and almost any other service
What can be better than a resource that goes through undifferentiated complaints. This book is great for anyone going into EM (3rd, 4th, and interns). Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars easy to read
Short, bulleted chapters make for easy reference, but it is also interesting enough to just plough straight through. Definitely appreciate it as a brand new practitioner.
