March 1, 2008I worked in the ER for three years or so, as a tech (which is to say, helper/ orderly/ nursing assistant/ extra pair of hands). Now that my training requires me to buy this guy, it's like I am a "grownup" at last, in Emergency Med terms.
First impressions? For a small book, this sucker is thick. A 100-pager at this size would fit into a lab coat pocket, but this is the book that always hangs out in a cabinet at the nurses' station... somebody explain to me why it can't be regular text-book size.
The content seems very solid; like so many high-level medical texts, chapters are contributed individually, by experts in various sub-fields. This is essentially the "Baby Tintinalli."
