Review
'[The] Clinical Emergency Medicine Casebook offers a unique strategy for learning a case-based approach. … The cases are complemented by stunning color photographs, beautiful radiology and electrocardiology images and detailed illustrations.' Stanford Lane Library Online
'… in recent years, traditional teachings have been challenged, and medical education is slowly evolving from a shell of spoon-fed information to an open buffet of problem-based learning. As this new method of instruction is adopted, the format of textbooks is changing. This could not be more beautifully illustrated than in Levis and Garmel's Clinical Emergency Medicine Casebook. … [It] is an ideal text for students of emergency medicine both young and old.' Journal of the American Medical Association
'Well written, thought-provoking and educational.' Biowww.net
'This book will be an excellent adjunct for medical students on an emergency medicine rotation, and a great review for residents and practising clinicians. It will also be interesting to physicians in other specialties who would like to experience the analysis and treatment of acute presentations and management, which they may not see commonly in their practices except as consultants.' Permanente Journal
'… a pleasure to read … would [recommend] it to anyone who is looking for a different approach from the usual didactic medical books …' lifeinthefastlane.com
'The amount of information included in this relatively short volume is astonishing. … the included images are a significant enhancement to the cases, and the overall quality of the book is outstanding. … a high-quality learning tool. … While the cases may be most appropriate for medical students or resident physicians training or rotating in EM, the wealth of clinical information and excellent discussions make this a good reference for practising emergency physicians, as well as any other students or practitioners caring for emergency or urgent care patients. Given the relative paucity of true case-based learning references geared specifically for emergency physicians, this book truly fills an important void in the EM literature. It has all of the key ingredients for successful integration in any learning or study program and should be a sought-after reference for years to come.' Academic Emergency Medicine
'The cases are taken from clinical practice … The patients seem real and the presentations are easy to read … The text provides a very enjoyable exercise of attempting to diagnose each case correctly … the variety is unlike that of other case presentation textbooks that so often focus of only unique pathology … the greatest strength is the quality of the visuals integrated throughout the presentations … I have never found this to be so consistently present in other texts … In conclusion, a great case presentation book filled with useful information for students, residents, and even the most experienced clinician is finally available.'

Product Description
Emergency Medicine is not divided into specific areas of practice. Emergency room visitors come in all shapes and sizes, at any time of day or night, with a wide range of maladies. Emergency physicians need to become experts in diverse areas of medicine and to be able to make quick and informed decisions about patient care. A cornerstone of emergency medicine training is the constant drilling and re-drilling of simulated cases and clinical scenarios. This book offers a unique yet underutilized strategy for learning: a case-based approach from real patients and actual events. Each case provides the opportunity for learning essential clinical concepts. Focused exclusively on the needs of in-training emergency physicians and nurses, the book covers more than 100 common and unusual cases in emergency medicine. The procedures have been class-tested by the Stanford/Kaiser Emergency Medicine Residency Program.

clinically relevant
31 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
Clinical Emergency Medicine Casebook lives up to its title as a clinically relevant reference. Categorized by major organ systems one gets the opportunity to review case presentations in a standardized format complete with copious illustrations. Be the super sleuth. Read the history, know the physical exam, have key evaluation parameters and take a stab at the diagnosis. Answers are thorough including key teaching points and references. Compare your work ups to those of the experts. Are you ordering too many or too few tests for a given complaint? Think about the last patient you saw with this presentation and see if you would have missed this diagnosis. Learn from the detailed and informative case reviews. It is a somewhat novel but very helpful approach to work towards the diagnosis, as we do everyday in real practice, rather than look up a condition and work backwards. With traditional methods of presentation we may be able to recite a litany of facts regarding any specific diagnosis but would we recognize it in the Emergency Department? Well written, thought provoking and educational. Well received by attendings and residents. Nice work Levis and Garmel!

fun read
18 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The case presentation format of this text is a great way to learn -- it catches my attention and keeps it since each summary is short and sweet. I enjoyed the diagnostic challenge of each case and the immediate gratification of each case review. There are photos, lab results, xrays and EKGs for each presentation to help bring the cases to life. It's more fun than opening a textbook and reading through each condition. Great choice of cases and very nicely written with attention to detail. This will be a nice addition to your library, especially if you're tired of the same old Tintanelli and Rosen. The cases are bread and butter, with a twist, so you can buff up on your differentials. Entertainment like no other. Great job!

Very Well Written and Informative
28 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
I have really enjoyed reading Clinical Emerngency Medicine Casebook by Levis and Garmel. The book is written in a case based format. Each case is presented in a way that allows the reader to work through the history and physical and then try to come up with the solution. Each case is then followed by a brief, yet very informative discussion with current and pertinent references.
The text is loaded with photos, xrays, EKGS, etc. The book is an easy and entertaining read - but still teaches and re-inforces both key principles of Emergency Medicine and some rarely seen but important topics. I have been practicing Emergency Medicine for 10 years and have found this book as a great addition to my preparation for board recertification.
