Publisher's summary

You're a doctor 11 hours into your shift, and you've just walked into a waiting area packed with patients. There's an elderly man complaining of chest pain, a teenage girl whose arms are swollen with bee stings, and an ambulance bringing in two unresponsive kids from a car crash. What do you do next?

In Dr. Benaroch's 24 lectures, experience for yourself the high-stakes drama and medical insights of life in an everyday emergency department: the most intense department in any hospital and home to the kind of split-second decision making, troubleshooting, and detective work that can make the difference between a patient's life and death.

Every lecture brings you up close and personal with the common and uncommon medical crises that emergency doctors encounter throughout their careers. As you shadow Dr. Benaroch on his shifts and sometimes even venture off-site, you'll encounter patients coming in with a variety of symptoms and complaints - some of which are easily diagnosed and treated and some of which are more life-threatening than they first appear. At the heart of each case are powerful examples of:

  • How emergency doctors think on their feet
  • How emergency doctors determine what's really wrong with a patient
  • How emergency doctors rule in - or out - certain diagnoses
  • How emergency doctors counsel patients and families on improving health

This is your opportunity to explore the adventure, mystery, and fascination of emergency medicine - and to discover why it's one of the most exciting and rewarding branches of medicine to work in.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Engaging and instructive

These lectures were fascinating and provided a great look into a field most of us are scared to even think about. I'd never had much interest in emergency medicine, but the lecturer kept me engaged from the first minute to the last.

He had a variety of interesting stories on all different topics, and kept them tied to the central theme. He is a wonderful speaker and obviously very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this for everyone!

Everyone could learn something from this!

Great way to get through a road trip. We try to guess the diagnosis before it's announced.

Fun Listen

I love Dr. Benaroch's way of explaining the practice of medicine. I've listened to two of his books now and I'm going to look for more. This is entertaining...almost like mini mysteries. Also, the knowledge you will gain is useful.

A good read

I enjoyed the subject matter presented in this presentation. I learned quie a bit about the role of emergency room procedures I had not thought about.
