One of the Great Books of Emergency Medicine Just Published: Extraordinary Cases in Emergency Medicine

This article that established thrombolytic therapy for STEMI as the domain of emergency medicine, not of cardiology.  It made me realize I needed to recognize coronary occlusion on the ECG and differentiate it from PseudoSTEMI patterns.  We emergency physicians could only rely on ourselves to make the right and timely diagnosis because waiting for a cardiologist was to wait too long.Doug and Hennepin (Ernie Ruiz, Joe Clinton, Dave Plummer, and more) taught me long ago that we Emergency Physicians must be the deciders.And that is just one of his countless contributions to EM over a 37 year career.Doug has collected images in EM since 1983 and they incredible images, classics in EM.Now he has put 500 of these images (344 cases) together in an amazing new book:The Most Fascinating Book in Emergency Medicine HistoryGo here to buy it on Amazon
