clinical emergency medicine case book
Emergency medicine is a tremendously challenging medical specialty. Fortunately,
this field is profoundly rewarding. It gives health care professionals the unique
opportunity to help individuals at their time of greatest need. Sometimes, simply
offering reassurance, kindness or compassion is all that we can do; the importance
of which should never be underestimated.
In emergency medicine, health care professionals assist individuals whose pain,
anxiety and stress levels are high. Often, our quick decisions and actions are lifesaving.
Emergency medicine personnel continuously use their extraordinary skills,
knowledge and experience to “make things happen” and “get the job done,” in an
attempt to positively impact patients and their families, significant others, friends
and persons important to them.
In reality, physicians, nurses, mid-level providers, paramedics, residents and medical
students generally have time to look up information from various sources. Yet
emergency personnel have the responsibility to provide services not available to
individuals at that moment anywhere other than an emergency department. Therefore,
our purpose is even more vital.

Alarm Bells in Medicine Danger Symptoms in Medicine, Surgery and Clinical Specialties
specialities has its own alarm bells, those crucial symptoms
that, if missed, may lead to death or demise (of the patient and,
increasingly, the doctor). These are the clinical pearls that slip
out on the ward rounds and in the clinics of experienced
doctors. This book is therefore a beachcombing exercise, gathering
all these vital symptoms from every area of clinical
practice, and depositing them in a single casket.
Symptoms, not signs, have been included. This is because
every doctor, no matter how subspecialised, can be exposed to
the full range of medical symptoms, just by virtue of the
patient’s speech. He is unlikely, however, to be presented with, or capable of eliciting, a comparable range of signs on
examination. An ophthalmologist is unlikely to be adept at
picking up splenomegaly, or a haematologist at detecting
peripheral retinal neovascularisation – two signs of chronic
myeloid leukaemia. However, both doctors can remember
that, if a patient complains of generalised itch, he may be
suffering from the condition.
