Product Information

The tragedy of life – robbing it of its fullness and brilliance – is the knowledge that we might die at any moment. And though we schedule our lives so precisely, with calendars and day planners and mobile phones and personal information management software, that moment is completely beyond our control. Used by Hospital Trusts, Ambulance Services, the Health Protection Agency and the Department of Health for on-call and emergency response. If you are currently looking for an Emergency Medicine book, you probably would agree with this statement: Whether you enjoy this book will probably depend on whether you like the author, I started suspicious I was going to find him vapid and self-obsessed but that opinion was changed by his self-deprecating humour and eventual conclusion.

Authors: Rita K. Cydulka, David M. Cline, O. John Ma, Michael T. Fitch, Scott A. Joing, Vincent J. Wang Having narrowed in on the likely diagnosis of small bowel obstruction, the chapter will continue with recommended diagnostic studies. Studies summarized will include lab testing, imaging modalities, and potentially other studies which are infrequently available from the ED (e.g. urgent interventional radiology) except in major medical centers. Finally, the chapter will summarize the initial treatment protocol including medications, procedural interventions and consults required. Ultimately, the book chapter on this chapter will make disposition recommendations such as admit or discharge. The Lost Chapter -- full previously unpublished text of some sections of the book that were edited/cut down in the final version of the book.Strauss has the ability to make non-fiction look like fiction. What an amazing storyteller, able to combine education and entertainment in such a valuable way.

Most of us exist in considerable comfort in the West, particularly when compared to the rest of the world. When things go bad, and go from bad to worse, nearly nobody has a clue what to do about it. Far too many people will be counted among the first casualties. The unprepared masses could have learned a thing or two to keep themselves alive. I recommend you read this book simply so you can understand just how much we don't actually know about disaster situations and how to survive during and after them. I certainly learned a lot by the time I put 'Emergency' down. His latest book, The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships, was released on October 13. The review in Grantland described it as follows: In most cases, the materials and recommendations in Emergency Medicine textbooks are typically written by well-respected individuals, are thoroughly researched, and pass the sniff test of being within the boundaries of accepted practice. In the circumstance that one faces a medical malpractice situation around a case gone wrong, established textbooks will often be referenced and heavily utilized as the baseline standard of care for the practice of Emergency Medicine. Assuming one is not referencing a long outdated text, the Emergency Medicine book then plays a foundational role in anchoring decisions one made during a difficult case. So I read it to become more educated about the mindset of the "dooms-dayers," and perhaps gain some insight on how to best prepare for an apocalyptic scenario, or at least the moment WSHTF. This book really drew me in and I finished it in about a week reading it at lunch time every day. I got the first few sample chapters via Tim Ferriss's blog. The free chapter I read online about getting a 2nd Passport from St. Kitt's was great. Maybe that was more Jason Bourne than James Bond though. That is so cool to get a 2nd passport.Since emergency medicine is a wide field that is ever-changing, it’s important for you as a healthcare professional, student doctor, or student nurse to keep learning it and never stop. More importantly, regardless of your specialty you will witness medical emergencies (once in a while, at least), where you’d be expected to take actions that will save lives. And the knowledge of what to do in these situations must always be at your fingertips — your specialty notwithstanding. An unusual part of the book is that there is an armchair treasure hunt incorporated into it. There are short sections written in comic book form, and each of these sections includes a clue that is supposed to reveal the location of a cache that Strauss buried at one point in the book. Because I’m a dork, I spent a good hour trying to find the clues, figure out what they meant, and then figure out where the cache is. After that, I have no idea still. Okay, that’s not totally true. I have some idea, but nothing of confidence, so I’ll let you all know when I find the damn thing because now it’s an obsession. I bet my girlfriend will appreciate taking a vacation to some woods to unbury a box, especially when I don’t have the right spot and we spend three days digging holes. As its name implies, this textbook is an instant guide to current practices in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of emergency cases. If you’re looking for a text that isn’t as voluminous as the two above, and yet more detailed than the handbooks reviewed below, then this book is your best bet. While some Emergency Medicine books (particularly larger volumes like Rosen’s) incorporate multiple teaching strategies in their chapters to convey their information, most books use just one approach. We organize Emergency Medicine books into 3 teaching approaches: disease-focused, chief complaint, and question and answer. Let’s take a closer look. If you are genuinely interested about what to do if society breaks down, Id recommend this book as a starter for sure.

Designed to specification for any organisation which needs to record incidents or activities of managers.

As you would expect from any medical text, CURRENT Diagnosis and Treatment Emergency Medicine reflects the latest breakthroughs in medical practice, and it contains lots of high-quality illustrations drawn to help simply complex concepts.

There are some interesting talks that he has with a couple of billionaires, and honestly I wished he'd expanded a little bit more about their world. Designed for diverse applications including Private Hospital Control teams, Incident Commanders, Coast Guard, Accident Investigators (CAA and similar) and Local Authority Emergency Planners. There is not a good answer to this. The pace of innovation and adoption of new Emergency Medicine practices is slow for most practitioners given the risks and potential downside involved and, to some extent, practices are not adopted until more cavalier practitioners have refined and discussed new protocols. The Value of Emergency Medicine Books As its name implies, this handbook covers the diagnosis and management of emergency cases using the chief complaint as guide. Since it’s a concise text that can only take so much, the handbook uses an algorithmic approach to explain the management of the commonest complaints encountered in the emergency room. Unfortunately, not all of the recommendations are consistent and its hard to reconcile the subtleties if an efficient manner. On top of that, there is an expectation that the Emergency Medicine practitioner practices with the standard of care, even though there is disagreement on what the standard actually is. How does one process the information from all of these disparate sources to zero in on the right way to practice Emergency Medicine? And, once comfortable, how does one assimilate a new paper or a new guideline into one’s standard practice?Sometimes, you find it easier to master a subject when you work your way through from the “wrongs” to the “rights”. That’s the exact approach adopted in Avoiding Common Errors in the Emergency Department, which discusses over 360 errors commonly made in the emergency room. More importantly, the book gives practical and easy-to-recall tips on how to avoid these common mistakes. Authors: Amal Mattu MD, Arjun S. Chanmugam MD MBA, Stuart P. Swadron MD FRCP(C) FACEP, Dale Woolridge MD PhD, Michael Winters Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants are playing an increasingly important role in Emergency Medicine departments everywhere. NPs and PAs are skilled front line providers who work independently or in conjunction with attendings to deliver quality care. Given that most NPs and PAs work largely independently in lower acuity settings, one of the best Emergency Medicine books for Nurse Practitioners & Physician Assistants is Minor Emergencies: Expert Consult as it provides a nice overview of the types of conditions that NPs and PAs will often see in the Emergency Department. Neil is a great writer, and on top of these eloquent insights, he has hilarious stories peppered all throughout this. It's almost like reading a too-true fiction. I definitely recommend reading it if you're interested in the subject.
