Textbook of Adult Emergency Medicine

Reviews

"A major postgraduate textbook in emergency medicine. A
comprehensive textbook of adult emergency medicine for trainee
doctors - covers all the problems likely to present to a trainee
in the emergency department and all problems that are less
likely to present in the emergency department. Chapters are
short and concise with text boxes featuring controversial areas
of treatment. I truly love this book; if emergency medicine is
your interest then this book comes highly recommended."
