First published: 1991
Description: "You know that anything can happen in the emrgency department. Are you prepared to face the challenges? By presenting 100 real-life case studies, Drs. Freed, Mayer, and Platt help you understand the full range of medical emergencies, including trauma, drug- and alcohol-related problems, pediatric emergencies, heart problems, and psychiatric issues." "To show you how emergency staff evaluate and solve problems, each case study includes: succinct descriptions of symptoms and circumstances, discussion of diagnosis and treatment, questions that stimulate further discussion, and current references." "Completely updated, this third edition reflects the way emergency medicine is practiced today. This new third edition now includes more cases that demonstrate how all members of the emergency staff - practicing physicians, residents, nurses, medical students, and prehospital care providers - interact and react in emergency situations."--Jacket.
