Rosen & Barkin's 5 Minute Emergency Medicine Consult (The 5-Minute Consult Series)

It’s heavy and big, but it’s a great reference!

I highly recommend this textbook. I love that the book explains medical ailments in an outline format, which makes it easier to digest. Also I like how the book is alphabetically organized so I don’t have to refer to the table of contents or indices to find what I’m looking for. I will be starting a fellowship in the emergency department as an ER nurse practitioner. I anticipate utilizing this textbook very often during my study hours.

Use if frequently when "on the job".

This is a great reference BUT it is just not a feasible work option unless you have a desk to put it on. Very heavy. Purchasing the book does give you access to the ebook-so that is helpful but the ebook is a little challenging to read on a phone. Works great on a tablet or Surface!

Simple for a quick management review.

It would have been great, had it be a handbook

Very useful book for those working in the emergency department. Unfortunately the formatting in the kindle edition of this book is very poor and unusable. There is no way to search for a topic. For example if you want to look up sepsis, you first must go to the table of contents and then you have to scroll the screen with your finger past hundreds of topics (spread out over many pages) until you get to the section on sepsis. Fortunately Kindle allowed me to delete the kindle version of the book on my Ipad and I bought a better formatted edition in the app store (but for $20 more then the kindle version)
