"Dr. Brian Rowe, his co-editors and contributors, have
masterfully designed a book to 'answer the direct,
give-me-the-bottom-line questions emergency physicians ask in the
middle of their shifts' ... .Each chapter is extremely
well referenced and the index seems complete and is user friendly
... .This will be my new goto text for evidenced-based answers to
specific clinical questions. It belongs in every emergency medicine
library, as well as on the shelf of those in charge of journal
clubs and evidence-based lecture series." (Annals of
Emergency Medicine, November 2009)

"This book alone takes on the difficult challenge of reviewing
the evidence based decisions that are still not ubiquitous in the
emergency departments of America." (Doody's, August
2009)

"The best available evidence in a clear and concise manner.
... Especially useful to medical and pharmacy residents because
of their background in the topics covered in this book ... .It is a
significant evidence-based contribution to the emergency medicine
literature." (The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, July 2009)
