This review is from: Case Studies in Emergency Medicine (Paperback)

This is a great text for fourth year medical students and for those about to enter their EM residency. While the book is occasionally biased with the clinical slants of the authors, it does an impressive job of taking you through various thought processes, pointing out common errors, and referring to literature-based clinical decisions. The format also makes for an easy read that is both enjoyable and informative.
