Harwood-Nuss' Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine, book plus CDROM

Organized for easy reference, this comprehensive, concise, and clinically focused text covers all aspects of emergency medicine. Chapters follow a consistent, structured format—clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, evaluation, management, disposition, and common pitfalls.

In this edition, the Pain and Pain Management section is now at the front of the book, since a large percentage of emergency department patients present with pain-related complaints. The Trauma section now follows the High-Risk Chief Complaint section. A new two-color design will help readers find critical elements of each chapter easily.

A companion Website will include the fully searchable text, more than 400 self-assessment questions with answers, and additional images and tables.
