I have now read the 5th edition cover to cover and dammit I'm going to count it towards my reading goals. It's a beast of a book and has taken up such a huge chunk of this year.

Easy & Quick access which could help in preparing for emergency departments
Using mnemonics in few diseases,
Although it's short description for diseases makes it shallow but it's one of the good things you could do to an ER handbook!
Not bad if you add it to your reading list...
Recommended reading----> gradually!

I read this book a long time ago when I was still in medical school in 2005-2010 (so most likely its older version). Definitely a must-read textbook for medical students, junior physicians, or medical doctors.

Includes a good summary of speciality topics (from an ED point of view). Very useful as a reference guide, same brilliant standard I've come to expect from the Oxford Handbook series.
