Organized for easy reference, this comprehensive, concise, and clinically focused text covers all aspects of emergency medicine. Chapters follow a consistent, structured format—clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, evaluation, management, and disposition with highlighted critical interventions and common pitfalls. In this edition, the Pain and Pain Management section is now at the front of the book, since a large percentage of emergency department patients present with pain-related complaints. The Trauma section now follows the High-Risk Chief Complaint section. A new two-color design will help readers find critical elements of each chapter easily. A companion Website will include the fully searchable text, more than 400 self-assessment questions with answers, and additional images and tables.

‘The best book I have ever read on men and war in our time’ – John Le Carré Michael Herr went to Vietnam as a war correspondent for Esquire. He returned to tell the real story in all its hallucinatory madness and brutality, cutting to the quick of the conflict and its seductive, devastating impact on a generation of young men. His unflinching account is haunting in its violence, but even more so in its honesty. First published in 1977, Dispatches was a revolutionary piece of new journalism that evoked the experiences of soldiers in Vietnam which has forever shaped our understanding of the conflict. A groundbreaking piece of journalism, part of the Picador Collection, which inspired Stanley Kubrick’s classic Vietnam War film Full Metal Jacket.
A comprehensive work in the field of emergency medicine. Each chapter in these extremely well-organized two texts begins with the most urgently needed information in an emergency situation--stabilization, physical exam, initial diagnosis--and is followed by traditional material on epidemiology, pathophysiology, etc. Also in each chapter are "bullet-point" statements summarizing important concepts. Other unique features of this text include the use of extensive tables, boxes, and checklists. This is the only book of its kind to allow users such quick access to critical information.
