Reviews
"...an excellent introduction to major emergency medicine topics.

The practical approach adopted, and the addition of six clinical problems highlighting important points, make it a good primer for students during their emergency department attachment...well written, easy to read, and laid out so simply that an index is not required. Its clinical examples would make useful teaching tools during an emergency department rotation, and indeed, were probably conceived as tutorial exercises."

Medical Journal of Australia

"Topics are nicely laid out and the authors are very successfully cut out all the waffle, which makes this book quite fun and easy to read...I think this is an excellent buy for medical students, especially for those in their first two clinical years. Rating 4 out of 5" Barts and the London Chronicle
