"Emergency Medicine: an ICT" is a great textbook for trainees and students about to start an emergency medicine rotation. The double page topic format provides an excellent overview and key points summary for all key topics in EM. Don't expect the depth of content found in a large reference book (but then did you ever read all of one of those?). There are lots of high quality images to satisfy all those who believe that a picture is worth a thousand words. If you want to know what you really need to know and learn it quickly then check out this book.

Emergency medicine is a specialty in which immediate life-saving decisions are made regularly. To do this confidently and safely, an Emergency Physician requires an accurate clutter-free knowledge base and a streamlined logical thought process.
"Emergency Medicine: An illustrated colour text" is the best book for this.
The book is divided into 6 main chapters:
-Introduction to Emergency Medicine
-Resuscitation and Initial Management
-Trauma
-Emergency Presentations
-Emergency Paediatric Presentations
-Social Issues
The chapters on emergency presentations are particularly noteworthy. The authors describe the most common presentations to A&E, provide key diagnostic points to note in the history and examination, the differential diagnoses, investigations to consider and an emergency management plan.
Relevant clinical and radiological images and clear summary diagrams make the book interesting and easy to read. A review box at the end of each double page spread emphasizes crucial learning points.
In summary, this is a concise, comprehensive and up-to-date book which provides a solid foundation in Emergency Medicine. An essential read for all medical students and junior doctors.

If you are interested in buying a textbook about the speciality of Emergency Medicine, should you choose The Oxford Handbook or should you choose the Illustrated Colour Text? Well, although they have identical titles, and cover the same areas of Medicine, their approach to the topics is very different indeed. The books have different prices, different layouts, different styles of language and different target audiences. The Oxford Handbook of Emergency Medicine is much like the rest of the world famous series in that it is pricey, snappy, small in size and designed as a reference book. Unlike in the Illustrated Colour Text, the Oxford Handbook contains very few images, colours, tables or lists of key points. It is designed to sit on the desk in a busy Emergency Department and be referred to when a reminder of a piece of knowledge is required to assist in application of a certain practical skill, be it history taking, diagnosis, a procedure, communication skill etc.. On the other hand, the Illustrated Colour Text gives you the skills and knowledge to prepare you for life in the Emergency Department, and therefore, unlike the Oxford Handbook, it prepares you for your time in the Emergency Department in advance. It contains diagrams and photos of important skills and procedures and handy tid-bits of information such as pneumonics and flowchart algorithms that are all written and prepared so that the information can be studied and understood. Saying that, it's also significantly cheaper that the Oxford Handbook! So, if you'd like to learn about what life is like on the Emergency Department, then the Illustrated Colour Text is for you. If, on the other hand, you'd like a detailed, succinct reference book to keep in your pocket, the Oxford Handbook is for you. As a Medical student at the moment, I'd prefer to buy the Oxford Handbook in a few years when I'm qualified, both because I will be able to afford it then, and because at that time I will be the target audience.
