Last Minute Emergency Medicine: A Concise Review for the Specialty Boards (Last Minute Series)

Loved this book - it was great even for individuals who don't plan on becoming physicians. The terminology and situations seem to place you right there in a crisis situation. Great for a rush and to get a first-hand glimpse of what doctors and nurses really go through.

I liked this book overall. It is an "okay" review prior to an exam- could be read in a week or so. I found the toxicology section particularly useful. Cardiology espcially was really lacking.

I am a 3rd year Emergency Medicine Resident.While this review book is concise and has lots of useful information, it is severely flawed. First, there are numerous typos, which gives the impression that no one edited this book. There are typos in every chapter and many chapters with multiplet typos within a given section. Then, there is some information that is flat out wrong (e.g., tumor lysis syndrome causes hypophosphatemia).I have read this book cover to cover and I'm disappointed I did. I would not recommend this book.

This is an amazing book. it's small and has everything you need as a medical student working in the emergency department. I've been unsing it for months and only one o twice didn't find what i was looking for.I even use it before any exam to review what is really important and what i must know before the examn on any topic.i definetly recomend it as a copanion book.
