Atlas of Emergency Medicine
Site Source :Amazon.com
Text alone is simply not sufficient for assimilating the enormous amount of clinical knowledge necessary in today's practice of emergency medicine. Volumes of well-written text simply cannot replace what our eyes experience. The success of the first edition of Atlas of Emergency Medicine has born this out. The second edition significantly enlarges upon this theme by expanding the content and scope of the first edition.
We have incorporated the many changes suggested by the readership into this new edition. Feedback from journal reviews and abundant personal interactions has resulted in updates in every chapter with new items and photography. Another powerful source of the changes is the ever-evolving nature of our specialty. The addition of new chapters on Forensics, Wounds and Soft Tissue Injuries, Ultrasound, and HIV stems from our attempt to adjust to the ongoing transitions in emergency medicine. These areas are becoming prominent in our daily practice and deserve more dedicated attention.
Our goal is to continue to improve the Atlas with changes to future editions guided by reader feedback. All criticism is considered a "gift" and is accepted with gratitude and thanks. We hope this interchange with the readership will continue.
Atlas of Emergency Medicine, second edition, continues to serve as the reference and teaching guide to the visual clues seen in emergency medicine. Despite the information explosion since the publication of the first edition, none of the many different atlases and color guides available today are comprehensive enough for use as a single reference in the Emergency Department or acute care clinic. The Atlas is not meant to be a comprehensive text nor a treatise on diagnosis. The images collected portray the scope and breadth of emergency practice and, as such, represent the most comprehensive collection of excellent emergency clinical images. Outside of the Atlas, such a book does not exist and we envision this text to continue to fill this void.
