One hundred twenty-five presenting complaints spanning pediatrics, adult medicine, geriatrics, trauma, and toxicology are presented in an easy-to-follow format. On some subjects, such as indications for a computed tomographic scan before lumbar puncture and the benefit of dexamethasone in meningitis for adults, the latest recommendations from robust clinical trials are deftly interwoven into the text. 1, 2 However, in the chapter on head injury, the text suggests computed tomography for isolated loss of consciousness despite a major clinical trial and an American College of Emergency Physicians clinical policy recommending more restrictive indications. As in all texts with multiple authors, there is some redundancy and some failure of clinically similar chapters to complement each other. ./cache/cord-321740-5reldbrb.txt ./txt/cord-321740-5reldbrb.txt
