Rosen's Emergency Medicine: Concepts and Clinical Practice, Volume 1John A. Marx, Robert S. Hockberger, Ron M. Walls The 4th edition (1998) is suggested both for initial purchase and for a minimal core collection in Brandon-Hill. This latest edition contains 27 more chapters (which now makes 201 total), and includes a new section on special populations and one on cardinal presentations, which offers brief, complaint-based chapters for common signs and symptom. The remaining sections address fundamental clinical concepts such as resuscitation, shock, and mechanical ventilation; trauma, with chapters on systemic, orthopedic, and soft tissue injuries and violence and abuse; medicine and surgery, with chapters arranged system by system; environment and toxicology, covering injuries such as frostbite, poison, drugs, and lightning injuries; emergency medical services, including a chapter on disaster preparedness; and clinical practice and administration and philosophical issues. Editors John Marx (U. of North Carolina School of Medicine), Robert Hockberger (UCLA School of Medicine), and Ron Walls (Harvard Medical School) have been involved with this textbook for more than two decades.
