Like its previous edition, this set will contain a variety of medical case studies from actual patients presenting to the emergency department.

This is followed by high-value learning points on the condition with background points, physiology, and pathophysiology of the disease, how to make the diagnosis, and finally how to initiate treatment.

The cases provide expert discussion with tips and tricks, personal experience with management of each of the cases, and a follow-up description of the outcome of the cases to provide the reader with closure. To supplement each case study, all chapters include a pattern recognition component that identifies the key diagnostic features of the disease discussed. The chapters conclude with a summary of the diagnostic and treatment details of each condition.
