Avoiding Common Errors in the Emergency Department PDF
I am an attending in a busy level 1 trauma center; This book is exactly what I was looking for. It is chock full of pearls and tidbits along with sound common sense advice. What was previously considered dogma is not necessarily so now. I look forward to reading a portion every day; this from an attending of 30 years who stopped any kind of regimented reading schedule after I recertified for the third time. This book is awesome and truly one of a kind. LTBy Brandon Lovelace

study book of choice. Great topics, very short chapters, 100% clinical information, and a generous scattering of wisdom and insults that may serve in my arsenal the next shift I am playing games with less adaptive departments. These chapters are short, scary, and loaded with real world wisdom. There are plenty of snide remarks to reward the reader. I have recommended this book to Barns and Nobel for their E reader. I think the short chapters in this book lead themselves to the format of an e readers. I love this book and plan to read it many many times. Thank you to the authors for making it so readable and making the conclusions clear.
