(More customer reviews)I am an ER intern, and was looking for a reference-able book for on the job...
I compared this and Baby Tint's, this was far better, why you ask? well here's why...
1. Organized to look up fast, with table of contents on back cover, dark tabs on side pages for each section, and 2 strings to keep bookmarks on the go that wont fall out. Also more durable cover to repel ER fluids flinging around. and coffee.
2. Problems are well organized so you know where to look for what tests to order, when to consult, and how to treat.. properly.. specifically with drug dosages so you dont need another drug pda. Alphabetical and by system. Also has dispo instructions.. follow up in how many days? 3-5 or 5-7?
3. Quick reference section for what to do in common emergencies, ACS, COPD, Asthma, etc... just a list of what to do and order ASAP... very useful.. especially for interns/dummies.
4. Good overview, when you just want to look up things quickly, what was that? and what do i do? its like a Wikipedia for EM.
5. Also section of common drugs, procedures, peds stuff. It's like a senior resident's essential notes compiled, probably similar to pocket medicine, but for EM... ie its more readable (not an outline from med school)
My co interns have been looking for a starter reference book, and this is what we seem to be agreeing on. Tintinelli's or Rosen's or whatever fatty for home to look up and read "deeper", and this book for at work right before you order the 5 essential things you need or set up for a procedure, "light reading" to look up stuff fast, or during lecture when something is mentioned and everyone else seems to know exactly what to do and you feel like you should be nodding your head too... but you aren't. Very EM oriented. Quick, precise, and actually usable.
