- Pocket ED (Series)
If there is one single pocketbook you want - maybe this is the one!

I loved its format, spiral is very handy for self-added slips too, and mostly-titles by differentials!!! Sort of revolutionary! But the downside is that those DDx's are somewhat too few (?).
The tables are good and meaningfull, but by the end of the day, to be honest, its still pocketsized textbook - a true pocket reference book of any speciality would be more in lines with what [...] offers or [...] ...

- EASILY the best ER handbook
Arranged by chief complaint, with instant access to the most pertinent information on workup and treatment.

There really is no comparable book in existence. I saw a recent review comparing it to 'Pocket Medicine'? There's no comparison. If you have a patient with chest pain, this book puts all the possible diagnoses in one section with the labs/imaging/physical exam tips that you need to decide which one is most likely...followed by the treatment. With 'Pocket Medicine' you'd have to jump from ACS, to PE, to esophageal spasm, to AAA, to tamponade, and on and on. You better not forget any possible causes because it's not arranged by complaint but by body system (like all internal medicine guides)

I had to write a review because I don't want medical students, interns, or residents thinking the 'Pocket Medicine' will help you in the ER.

'Pocket Medicine' is for internists or your internal medicine rotations.

'Pocket Emergency Medicine' is the ONLY handbook to carry in the ER.

- A good basic reference, but lacks citations
I am a military internist who bought this book prior to deployment to Iraq as a guide to teach my medics how to handle "ED fast lane" type complaints, and to remind me of some non-internal medicine complaints (eyes, gyn, etc) that I have not seen much of since medical school/intern year. I bought this as it was from the same series that my favorite IM pocket reference was from (Pocket Medicine). It is a good book in how it outlines things, but I was disappointed by the lack of references found in its Pocket Medicine counterpart. As such, I would choose 5min Clinical Consult over this book if you plan on using this to bolster some of your old fast lane skills. However, it is quite useful as a basic decision making reference and teaching tool for PA's, medics, and nurses; though a little overpriced.

- Great Resource
This is a great resource for ER practice. I am a Physician Assistant in a Baltimore Emergency Room and this is a great go to guide. Its a quick and easy reference that provides pertinent info and is straight to the point. Great Investment!!
