Customer Reviews
Rating:  - Very outdated
Though the format of the book is good, it suffers greatly from being extremely out of date, though the copyright is 2006 the information is at least 10 years behind and not appropriate for boards review. Additionally, questions are frequently repeated either verbatim, or re-phrased, diluting the value of the questions. Additionally, some questions which are similar provide contradictory answers. This is still a good format, but the editors need to commit to an overhaul, in current form this is not a useful book.
Rating:  - I feel duped!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to start by saying that the overall format of the book is great and could be useful but I would be ashamed to call myself an editor for this text and call it a "new" addition. The text is clearly out of date which is a shame because if someone would have had the energy to do it right this could have been a gem. I don't expect something published in 2005 to refer to cardiac troponins as a new test. There are abundant references to streptokinase which I guess is acceptable but most new grads finishing an er residency will have never heard of LDH1/LDH2 ratios and most certainly lovenox has become more commonly used in practice since this books last printing (the only form of heparin mentioned is IV). Give me a break! Don't re-publish old stuff and call it a new addition without updating it.
Rating:  - Pearls of Wisdom an Excellent Choice
The overall context of the book if very well done. For the purest and the fanatic, this book had every workable piece of knowledge as it pertains to emergency medicine.
