5.0 out of 5 stars Your guide to doing well on rotation, April 1, 2010

This book covers the essentials of the all the bread-and-butter emergency medicine cases in a manner perfect for easy learning. Don't waste time with other books, this book has everything a medical student could want for his/her rotation. Cases are short enough to read a few per night and are full of all the information to understand how to approach, work-up, and manage a EM patient. Almost invariably, I would be pimped on the exact information that was covered in the cases. The patients I saw were virtually identical to those in the cases. This series is wonderful for the medical student, especially the 3rd year.

Perfect book. Clinical vignette with explanations of correct answer and why the other choices are wrong. There are also review questions for each topic. Highly recommend. This is just about all I used during clinicals.
