The tragedy of life – robbing it of its fullness and brilliance – is the knowledge that we might die at any moment. And though we schedule our lives so precisely, with calendars and day planners and mobile phones and personal information management software, that moment is completely beyond our control.Designed for any collaborative decision making group formed to handle an emergency, e.g. Chief Executives at NHS Gold / STAC level, Military decision makers, Accident Investigators, Local Authority decision planners. Question and Answer books are highly useful when one is preparing for in-service and board exams or just general pimping on rounds. Most of these books present a highly specific question and then give you possible answers to select from. To challenge the reader even further, some of them offer the dreaded “None of the above” answer choice to make sure that you aren’t simply guessing through the process of elimination. EM Books & Modern Guidelines The Lost Chapter -- full previously unpublished text of some sections of the book that were edited/cut down in the final version of the book.

With all the Emergency Medicine texts out there, stopping and asking yourself why you are buying the book in the first place may help filter the signal from the noise. Realistically, most books have so much content that it takes weeks to months to consume it all, reason through algorithms and diagnostic approaches, and achieve any meaningful comprehension. As a result, taking a highly focused approach to committing to one or a few Emergency Medicine books for a period of time is usually the best approach. Neil Strauss is doing both, and this book is a great example of that. Not only did a learn many valuable things for life, but I also had a lot of fun while doing so. Take, for example, a chapter on small bowel obstructions. First, the chapter may go over the history and epidemiology of small bowel obstructions to paint a general overview of the disease. Then, the chapter will likely dive into the pathophysiology of the disease process. Following that, there will be some discussion of clinical features, including patient complaints and history and physical findings. To set the reader up to confirm that small bowel obstruction is the primary diagnostic consideration, there will often be a discussion of various diagnoses that should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis and what rules out related possible diagnoses. In Emergency Medicine, recommendations for the management of a particular condition often come from a variety of sources:

Neil is a great writer, and on top of these eloquent insights, he has hilarious stories peppered all throughout this. It's almost like reading a too-true fiction. I definitely recommend reading it if you're interested in the subject. Depending on your profession and level of training different Emergency Medicine books will have more or less value.

The Emergency-Preparedness Myths That Can Kill You -- A list of the top ten myths of survival that are dangerous and could potentially harm you. These myths were extremely helpful and informative, and I found that I didn't know a lot of the information included in this section.

This book really drew me in and I finished it in about a week reading it at lunch time every day. I got the first few sample chapters via Tim Ferriss's blog. The free chapter I read online about getting a 2nd Passport from St. Kitt's was great. Maybe that was more Jason Bourne than James Bond though. That is so cool to get a 2nd passport.

Swadron MD FRCP(C) FACEP, Dale Woolridge MD PhD, Michael Winters Most of us exist in considerable comfort in the West, particularly when compared to the rest of the world. When things go bad, and go from bad to worse, nearly nobody has a clue what to do about it. Far too many people will be counted among the first casualties. The unprepared masses could have learned a thing or two to keep themselves alive. I recommend you read this book simply so you can understand just how much we don't actually know about disaster situations and how to survive during and after them. I certainly learned a lot by the time I put 'Emergency' down. The rumor has never proven true, from what I can tell. Maybe it’s a ploy by someone with a few first editions to try and rarify it and drive up the value. Although I can’t personally prove it either way, I have to believe that someone who found it wouldn’t be against providing photographic or textual evidence. But it’s kind of a cool rumor anyway.The Lost Chapter of Emergency? -- "How to Rob the Cradle and The Grave." This may or may not be a cut chapter from the book according to the author....I may or may not rescind my statement above in #3, this actually may or may not be my favorite bonus chapter. Awesome stuff! Sometimes, you find it easier to master a subject when you work your way through from the “wrongs” to the “rights”. That’s the exact approach adopted in Avoiding Common Errors in the Emergency Department, which discusses over 360 errors commonly made in the emergency room. More importantly, the book gives practical and easy-to-recall tips on how to avoid these common mistakes. Death is a guillotine blade hanging over our heads, reminding us every second of every day that this life we treasure so much is no more important to the universe than those of the 200,000 insects each of us kills with the front of our car every year. While some Emergency Medicine books (particularly larger volumes like Rosen’s) incorporate multiple teaching strategies in their chapters to convey their information, most books use just one approach. We organize Emergency Medicine books into 3 teaching approaches: disease-focused, chief complaint, and question and answer. Let’s take a closer look. Designed for diverse applications including Private Hospital Control teams, Incident Commanders, Coast Guard, Accident Investigators (CAA and similar) and Local Authority Emergency Planners.
