Atlas of Emergency Medicine

Simply stated an excellent reference for those in Emergency Medicine.

EXCELLENT VISUAL & QUICK DESCRIPTIVE TEXT

Out of the many medical, rescue & first-aid books I have in my library, this book is one of the most frequently referred to by myself. The range & quality of photos is astounding. The text is kept brief with usually a few advisory notes as well. Wish all references were this good

Excellent reference for EMTs & Paramedics

Let's first say that this book is not for the faint of heart. But if you're a medical professional and efeects of trauma and injuries on the human body intrest you , this is an excellent book. Full color graphic pictures of numerous typrs of injuries caused by trauma and various other causes showcase just how frail the human body can be. Seeing injuries in the book prepare you to better recognize them faster in the field and prepare you for the shock of seeing them for the first time in the field. Treating injuries in the field can better be accomplished through fast recognition of a patients treatment needs if you've have never dealt with a type of trauma/injury before and having seen it in the book can help you familiarize yourself beforehand. 4 Stars!

great

great book, using it to review for the boards. the pics of pediatric rashes are particularly helpful. it is a bit lacking on the radiology side of things, and i wish this book had a section on spinal trauma, especially c-spine injuries. (hint, hint, for the next edition) otherwise a great reference to have.
