 Rating: - good quick reference.good quick reference book. layout is open and easy to read but lacking the details. needs to read up more like uptodate or emedicine. if you have a PDA, getting the pda version would be nicer than the book version as it is too big & heavy. Rating:  - Phenomenal text for quick reviewGreat for reviewing most everything you'll come across in the ER. If you need to brush up on certain topics while working quick and to the point. Rating: - My favorite referenceThis is a crucial tool when you're on a busy shift in the ED. It's a practical reference, not a study guide. A patient comes in with radiation keratitis. Do you use steroid drops? Beats me. Thats when I go to this baby. This is my most used reference. Very well organized and easy to use. Rating:  - For Medical Students, Physician Extenders and InternsIts an okay book with decent tips and information but its really too brief and should not be relied on solely for information. Its a great book for medical students and starting interns and physician extenders. Rating: - Great content, but not pocket-able.5-min. Emergency has the (very useful) information of a pocket-reference in a non-pocket size. I find the PDA version MUCH more useful on a day-to-day basis. (I use Skyscape's version--I think there are others.) The bulleted, abbreviated style works very well on a PDA screen, and becomes quick and pocketable, something the hardback just can't do.
