Info forwarded to me from a friend …
If you’re considering purchasing the hard copies of Rosen’s Emergency Medicine (as opposed to Rosen’s Emergency Room Medicine), hold onto your $450.
New 7th edition is scheduled to come out by September 1, 2009.
Alternatively, you could purchase a subscription to MD Consult (or have your hospital purchase a subscription), and you’ll have access to Rosen’s plus a slew of other textbooks and journals for $350/year.
Or not buy any of that and just google search for procedures. 99% of procedures we do can be found somewhere for free on the internet. Emedicine is also free and pretty useful for most management questions.
I’ve used UpToDate.com for years, and love it. I think $400/yr. Quicker and more reliable and more comprehensive than free google searches. Earn CME credit every time you look up something.
Not sure how it compares to MDConsult. Used it years ago when it was free or someone else was paying.
Forgot to mention: UpToDate seems geared towards internal medicine and medical subspecialties, so may not have all that an ER doc would need. E.g., pediatrics, OB-GYN.
It should be “Rosen’s Emergency Department Medicine,” anyway.
Tintinalli is publishing a new version this summer as well.
