Markovchick Vincent J., Pons Peter T., Bakes Katherine M.(ed.) Emergency medicine secrets. 5th ed

Elsevier Health Sciences, 2011 - 750 p.This book is designed to be read by all students and practitioners of emergency medicine, both novice and experienced. As emergency medicine continues to evolve as a specialty, we have added several new chapters to our 5th edition and enhanced the format and referencing of
questions. With difyculty, we have also selected the 100 Top Secrets from more than 220
submitted by authors. We hope this continues to be a valuable and enjoyable method of
providing information and knowledge. Knowing some of the important questions about a
particular presentation or problem is the 1st step to obtaining the answers needed at the
patient’s bedside. However, medicine is nothing if not humbling, and knowledge alone does not
treat all that ails. Listen to your patients and make them feel heard. Getting the right diagnosis
can be invigorating, but impacting a life conŸrms our calling.Decision Making in Emergency Medicine
