The Tintinalli texts are a wonderful resource for anyone who is studying or working in Emergency Medicine, but the full sized Comprehensive Study Guide is is not easily portable and sometimes provides far more detail than is necessary to answer a question. That is where Just The Facts excels. It is an easy to reference, more easily transportable, condensed version of the original that provides all the required information for recognition, diagnosis and treatment in an Emergency Medicine setting.That said, the Kindle version of this book is impossible to use. The text formatting makes reading difficult, even when using an iPad or the computer App, the tables are formatted in either a much larger font than the rest of the text, or a font so small that they cannot be read. There are a large number of incorrectly spelled words, inappropriately inserted hyphens and transposed letters. The overall quality of the text is something that I would be hard pressed to live with in a free copy, and charging over $60 for a product with quality that is this low is absurd. Happily for me, offers a 7 day return period on Kindle purchases.
It is essentially identical to Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual 7 th edition which I also own,which i found it to be excellent
This is the condensed version of Tintinalli's reference book for Emergency Medicine. Very user friendly and covers the basics and anything you need to know for a ER rotation. If you are highly interested in ER and think this will be your career path go ahead and get the complete version of Tintinalli Emergency Medicine. If you just want to get the information for your rotation and EOR exam this book would be just fine. It breaks down every main ER concept by systems / complaints and guide you towards appropriate "next steps" for management for each complaint.
The formatting of the Kindle version is unbearable. I am promptly returning. Content is fine. Missing a good bit of important details that regular Tintinalli's gives, but nothing you wouldn't pick up in journal articles or podcasts.
In my second year of PA school, and I will say that this is one of my favorite books we have used. The chapters are concise and on-point. Pages are glossy and easy to read. And for such dense material, it does a great job making it clear and practical.
I'm a military PA student. Emergency Medicine is one of our more important rotations. While this book is a good summery of the facts, its still too comprehensive for my level. I got a lot more use out of Tintinalli's Board Review Questions book. If there was anything I didn't fully understand or needed to read up on, I preferred to go back to the actual text. I feel like this would be a much better reference guide for Em Residents rather than PA students, medical students or interns.
I bought this for my ER AI and it had the right information that I needed to know. I love the way it's organized, so I could skip some sections and focus on more important ones, like trauma and cardio. It is also the best book I have found for sutures and blocks, especially the pictures. It has an occasional typo, but nothing that I would say is a ridiculous mistake. The only con about this book is that I was unable to finish it in a month's time...but I think that was more my fault. :) If you combine this book with the question book that is also offered, it's all you need for ER AI and it's a wonderful transition to residency. It has wonderful information for every specialty.
Great book for condensed review of Tintinalli's 7th edition. Missing a chapter review here and there. Recommend to EM residents.
