I'm an RN working in a New York City emergency department, and I can say without a doubt, this is the best emergency medical refrence out there, and I own quite a few of them.

Physicians should find this book especially helpful.

Everything is organized by chief complaint, and then individual conditions. The book tells you, succinctly, exactly how to treat each condition, what drugs/dosages/treatments to use, what signs and symptoms are common, what complications to look for, what tests to order, and what pitfalls to avoid.

I have never seen a better refrence, and I use it all the time.

I bought this book for my senior medical school rotation in Emergency Medicine. I spent 4 weeks in the trenches of a Chicago Level 1 Trauma Center and this was my best friend! The book is organized by chief complaint, which is exactly how the patients present in the ER! When they hand you a chart with "Chest Pain" as the chief complaint, this little jewel is great for a quick refresher on possible etiologies, tests and procedures for the workup, and the treatments for the different diagnosis. I loved this book the whole 4 weeks of the rotation. I looked like a genius presenting to the attending physician with a complete workup and differential diagnosis. This was the best investment for my ER rotation, more so than the text and review book that I also purchased. Don't miss out on this little binder and the chance to have a great ER rotation.

I was wondering whether I can get a handbook that can satisfy me during my call
this handbook is a coprehensive,pocket size reference
DO NOT miss it!!
