I am an Emergency Medicine resident, using this book as required reading in my program. This text is well written and organized. The first few chapters review the basics of resuscitation and procedues. This is followed by a systematic review of Emergency Medicine, first the medical, then surgical, then misc (tox, environmental, OB-GYN). The chapter are set up into prehospital care for doctors doing online medical control, then the ABC's, then background, presentation, clinical features, treatment, and concludes with special considerations and pertinent pediatric apects. It is readable and gives a good review of Emergency Medicine.
