Detroit Receiving Hospital: Emergency Medicine Handbook

A "quick reference" handbook should be small enough to tuck in a pocket -- and this one is. It should be comprehensive enough to cover the more common problems for which quick information is needed -- it does! And it should be organized in a fashion that makes retrieval of information quick and easy -- again it succeeds. There's just too much data involved in the practice of Emergency Medicine to remember it all with complete accuracy, and this little "peripheral brain" gives accurate, relevant and critical data when the emergency physician most needs it. It's not just for the new EM physician, but is a gold mine of info for the "old gray-hair" with years of experience! The only fault I find is that there is need for a new edition -- new drugs, new ACLS recommendations, new technology have come on the scene since this 1995 edition was first put in print. There's so much useful data that it still should be at every EM physician's workstation -- or better yet, in the pocket of every EM doc's lab coat!
