Emergency Neurology cover

Part of the "What Do I Do Now?" series, Emergency Neurology uses a case-based approach to cover challenging cases for clinicians caring for patients with urgent neurologic illnesses, addressing difficult questions of diasnosis and treatment. Each chapter provides a discussion of the diagnosis, key points to remember, and selected references for further reading. For this new edition, all cases and references have been updated, reflecting the advances in emergency neurologic care. Emergency Neurology is an engaging collection of thought-provoking cases which clinicians can utilize when they encounter difficult patients, who are in need of timely emergency treatment. The volume is also a self-assessment tool that tests the reader's ability to answer the question, "What do I do now?"

This is an excellent book...this book can be looked upon as a refresher in common dilemmas or a go to book in specific scenarios. Both junior and more experienced neurology staff will enjoy reading through this book and learning from it. * Dr Harry Brown, Geriatric Medicine *
