This book is designed to be read by all students and practitioners of emergency medicine, both
novice and experienced. As emergency medicine continues to evolve as a specialty, we have
added several new chapters to our ?fth edition and enhanced the format and referencing of
questions. With difyculty, we have also selected the 100 Top Secrets from more than 220
submitted by authors. We hope this continues to be a valuable and enjoyable method of
providing information and knowledge. Knowing some of the important questions about a
particular presentation or problem is the ?rst step to obtaining the answers needed at the
patient’s bedside. However, medicine is nothing if not humbling, and knowledge alone does not
treat all that ails. Listen to your patients and make them feel heard. Getting the right diagnosis
can be invigorating, but impacting a life con?rms our calling.
