A quick review,
By
This review is from: CURRENT Diagnosis and Treatment Emergency Medicine (Paperback)
This is the second time I have purchased this particular book. It is a broad spectrum approach to most illness's/ injuries that one would encounter in the medical field. It does provide signs/symptoms, aids to diagnosis, differentials and a treatment plan. This however may be the weakest part of the book, as few textbooks can be as current as a journals/current publications where the treatment plan may reflect the current dynamic approaches. An example is the use of medications in a conservative manner, and not aggressive therapy that one may need to consider in a critically ill patient.

Good and concise Emergency Medicine book,
By O. DUNDAR "book connoisseur" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: CURRENT Diagnosis and Treatment Emergency Medicine (Paperback)
Good book with all the basics, but a little bit smaller than I expected. The advanced cardiac life support pharmacotherapy summary information on the inside of the front and back covers is really useful.

New CURRENT title, updated information,
By Alaskan Eagle - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: CURRENT Diagnosis and Treatment Emergency Medicine (Paperback)
Same CURRENT format, updated for the next year of reading. Important as you review for examinations especially if you have a book that is 2 or 3 years old from before. Good updates for HIV, Syncope and Seizures. Based on the current practices at time of publishing. Easy to read, easy to find the topics and just enough information to get the point. Compact, easy to transport and lots of information. Highly recommended by student and practicing professional.
