Reviews

"This is a book that all Accident and Emergency trainees will be very pleased to own. I wish it had been available many years ago when I was a trainee working in the Accident and Emergency Department." -Anaesthesia, R.M. Grounds

"As a clinical practitioner, I find this one of the most useful general texts I have seen in some time. Every time I look at it to review it, I end up bouncing from chapter to chapter, just exploring different clinical questions... easy to use, whether as a standard text in emergency care practitioner preparation, or simply to support decision-making on a day-to-day basis.This extremely practical textbook will be valuable in any emergency care setting, and to all staff who are involved in patient management." -Emergency Nursing (2005)

"The book is clearly written for doctors working in Accident and Emergency Medicine. With that aim I feel it has succeeded. It was direct, gave good advice and led the reader to pass on a well examined, well diagnosed and well treated patient to the next layer of the complex medical tree that is today's modern general hospital. This is a book that all Accident and Emergency trainees will be very pleased to own. I wish it had been available many years ago when I was a trainee working in the Accident and Emergency Department." -British Journal of Anaesthesia (2005)

"This book catches the eye with several high-quality photographs, well-executed line drawings, fine-resolution radiographs, and 4-color tables and figures. Other emergency medicine textbooks do not adequately cover the unique starting point for emergency physicians: patients presenting with symptoms and signs..The book delivers on its promise of a complaint oriented focus. Strict adherence to standard headings in each chapter increases this book's communication power." -Annals of Internal Medicine (2006)

"The medical student and resident will find An Introduction to Clinical Emergency Medicine a valuable tool in preparing for the ED experience. A review of the differential-diagnosis tables also would serve as an excellent preparation tool for the written boards or for the in-service training team...illustrations and radiographs are of excellent quality, much better than expected for a book of this price." -Academic Emergency Medicine
