Book News Annotation:

Four emergency medicine residents at Harvard Medical School are the authors of this pocket-size (in a 5x7<"> ring-binder) guide. The text is organized by complaint with the possible diagnoses listed alphabetically. The entries are presented in outline form, with headings that include one's approach to the patient for the complaint. The history, findings, critical studies, emergency department intervention, and clinical pearls are then listed for the diagnoses possible for each complaint.
