Doody’s Book Review Service, Laura Joy Hurst, MD,

Doody’s Book Review Service, Laura Joy Hurst, MD, University of Chicago —

“The author has done a superb job of collecting high quality images supported by a concise, high-yield review of the topic written by an expert in the field….Anyone involved in patient care, from the most junior student to the experienced clinician, would find some useful teaching point or diagnostic tool in this resource….

“This book covers, at least briefly, just about every topic in emergency medicine, including prehospital care, weapons of mass destruction, and toxicology as well as the expected cardiology, dermatology, pediatric illness, surgical emergencies, etc. The best features are the high quality images and the vast number of topics. The book is a great reference to turn to with a particular question in mind, but also an interesting resource to just pick up and flip through. It’s very readable….

“This book will be a valuable asset to my collection. It’s the most thorough atlas of emergency medicine that I’ve read.”–Four-Star Review from Doody’s Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 94)
