Bioterrorism Ready Reference

The discipline of Emergency Medicine is characterised by the need to diagnose and treat a tremendous variety of medical problems - often life threatening ones - rapidly and with little or no background information about the patient. Emergency physicians constantly seek up-to-date, authoritative information that they can access quickly and effortlessly. Consequently, the PDA is becoming a common and increasingly standard accessory for these physicians to carry and an indispensable tool for convenient, rapid retrieval of essential medical information, such as drug databases and texts. Written in a hard-hitting, bulleted outline style, this product consists of four updated chapters from the authors' Emergent Management of Trauma, 2/e (McGraw-Hill, 2001).
