Customer Reviews

recommended

For most students and residents I talked to, this was the only book they used for the rotation, and all of these are EM-minded people. Great concise discussions of ED's most common complaints as well as diagnosis and management.

Best book I read

I read all 6 case files for third year, and this continues the series into fourth year with another home run. The cases are right out of the ED, telling you what you need to do first and how to proceed, the exact things you will be asked by attendings.

Case Files in Emergency Medicine

This is really a factastic book. I own two books from the "Case Files" series, and will buy more when I see them available. Each chapter is concerned with one particular problem. The chapter opens with a case presentation, giving the opportunity to make a diagnosis before proceeding to the explanation and information. Finally, there are Clinical Pearls at the end of each chapter. The book is great because you can take 10 minutes and do one case, and put the book down. Great for a busy schedule. And great for board review.

The way medicine should be taught

This book is FANTASTIC. It presents the relevant details of the case and then asks you to think about the diagnosis, differential, emergency treatment and options. It then analyzes the case for you. It is indispensible for exam study and more importantly refreshing approaches to common medical emergencies. Everything from chest pain, sore throat to GI and Neurological emergencies is covered.

2 Thumbs up

This book gives a new prespective on learning emergency medicine from many of the books already out there. It is great for step 2, the 4th year EM elective and as a review for residents.
