More than three hundred extraordinary emergency medicine cases familiarize you with a wide variety of infrequently seen patient presentations


Over the course of his thirty-five year career practicing academic emergency medicine in an urban teaching institution providing Level 1 trauma care, author Douglas Brunette, MD has amassed an amazing collection of emergency medicine cases along with accompanying photographs. Most of these cases pose infrequently seen, if not rare, clinical challenges. Some are truly “once in a lifetime” in the career of an emergency medicine physician. All provide a unique learning opportunity.


Each of the 344 cases begins with an image (or set of images) and then continues with concise, templated details, including:


• Patient Presentation
• Clinical Features
• Differential Diagnosis
• Emergency Care
• Outcome
• Further Reading


These case histories and images have been carefully selected to be of value to readers ranging from medical students to the most experienced physicians.
