Recensioner i media

"…a good investment for a student or doctor regardless of their grade…"—Anthony Starr, Junior Practitioner, Cumbria, UK"This is a welcome first edition for trainees in Emergency Medicine. Never before has there been a concise, revision-focused text that aids preparation for the Emergency Medicine clinical exams, at both Membership and Fellowship standards.The layout of this book includes shaded boxes highlighting important learning points such as relevant scoring systems, complications and risk factors. The authors use useful mnemonics as a learning aid for those of us who prefer this style of learning. Where relevant, there are external references quoted such as NICE, Toxbase and the Resuscitation Council for further reading.In summary, no book is a substitute for clinical experience and the coverage of topics in this text is not exhaustive but reading this well-presented and up-to-date text, which has been written specifically for the MCEM and FCEM clinical examination is undoubtedly an excellent adjunct to seeing patients in the emergency department in preparation for the College exams."—Dr Andrew Dobbin, Ulster Med J; 79: 106-8
