The Atlas of Emergency Medicine

The grotesque has an allure that cannot be denied, and the Atlas of Emergency Medicine is a study in that fascination. But it's also an excellent reference for paramedics and EMTs. Full of color photos identifying femur fractures, lymphangitis, digital clubbing, and scarlet fever, the book is divided between "Regional Anatomy" (covering facial trauma, chest and abdominal conditions, extremity trauma, and the like) and "Specialty Areas" (with pediatric and environmental conditions, child abuse, and microscopic findings). With glistening photos of conditions such as sublingual ranula and suppurative parotidsialoadenitis plus pictures distinguishing between dry, wet, and gas gangrene, the atlas is an emergency room necessity that has addictive appeal for nonprofessionals with strong stomachs. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

"All subtopics of emergency medicine are covered, with most common diagnoses illustrated. The best feature of the book is the quality of the pictures, and the ease with which the pictures are found. This is an excellent pictorial atlas of emergency medicine, with helpful updates and additions from the last edition. It is highly recommended for personal and emergency department libraries.
