Extraordinary Cases in Emergency Medicine

A unique atlas of 350 extraordinary emergency medicine cases

Author Douglas Brunette, MD has amassed an amazing collection of emergency medicine photographs from his thirty-five years’ of service at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minnesota. From this collection, he has selected 350 cases for inclusion in this book. Each case begins with an image, or set of images, and then continues with concise, templated details of patient presentation, clinical features, differential diagnosis, emergency care, outcome, key learning points, and further reading.
