Emergency Medicine: Best books for trainees

The list author says:
	"My favourite reference book - and nicely in one volume as well. Might do well to wait for the 7th ed, which should be out next year"

The list author says:
	"Small, portable, got most of the stuff you'll need during a shift in it."

The list author says:
	"This - and Practical Fracture Treatment by the same author - are very handy if you haven't got a really strong orthopaedic background."

The list author says:
	"The broadest book for "minor" problems - from removal of dislocated contact lenses, how to excise thrombosed piles, to ring removal and fire ant stings. Got it all."

The list author says:
	"Nicely readable. A complement to Raby et al, which is also an essential to have close at hand during the shift."

The list author says:
	"Great authors, great book. Lovely ECGs and clear teaching points. Does need a good grasp of the basics first though."

The list author says:
	"Don't agree with all of his interpretations of study data, but he raises some good points for discussion. A though-provoking book."

The list author says:
	"A classic, and updated regularly by William Silen, who is also great. Lovely emphasis on physical diagnosis and differential, as well as discussion of potential rarities."

The list author says:
	"Nice introduction to critical care from principles. Lots of self-assessment histories at each chapter end."

The list author says:
	"Lovely, clear, memorable. Certainly more concise than the ATLS manual....!"

The list author says:
	"Very useful for making good sub-specialty surgical referrals. Covers a broad remit, including ENT, plastics, max-fax, etc"

The list author says:
	"Good book. And you need more and more to know about medico-legal aspects of your work."
