Again, considering using my internship stipend to buy a Tintinalli for home but notice the most recent version is almost 5 years old (pub 2003).

Any word on if new version coming out soon?

Thanks

I hope they make it 3 volumes like Rosen. That Tintinalli is like a huge anchor, impossible to actually take anywhere.
 
Was in the bookstore yesterday; how is the Harwood/Nuss/Wolfson? It's so small and cute compared to the others... it does have a CD...
 
Still working on revisions right now, so probably in a year-ish
 
I think it was Jeff698 that took it to Kinko's and had it cut up by chapter or section and put in a plastic binder. I don't know what that cost, though.

I think it cost me about 5 dollars plus tax per section I wanted to make. I made 200 page sections give or take a few depending on when the chapter added. They did it in the same day (typically 4-5 hours) so if its the end of the day they may tell you to pick it up in the AM.

I had the binding cut off of mine & 3 holes drilled. Cost me $6 total at Kinkos. I put it in a big binder and I just take out whatever we're reading for the month & put it in a much more portable thinner binder.

Yep, although I got the idea from someone else here.

Mine ended up being free. They misaligned one small section so it fit in the binder alittle askew.

Highly recommend chooping it up.

Take care,
Jeff

There is a high-yield Tintinalli called

Emergency Medicine: Just the Facts!

Which is more geared toward EM boards, but is good for portability. It covers every topic in the large Tintinalli, but less of the details. Also they have the smaller handbooks as well.
 
Bumping this thread.

Anyone have any updated info on the date for the 7th edition?

Well, my 1st draft chapter deadline is the end of March... so you could extrapolate from that... it's been pushed back a couple times...
 
Fall 2009, according to ad in current issue of Annals (3rd page - just before table of contents, April 2008 issue, for those sketpics out there). Of course, just because ACEP has plans of when they want to release it, doesn't mean it will get realeased on time. My best answer would thus be, "not before summer 2009."
 
damnit, i have money from my surgical year that I need to spend. Otherwise, I just lose it.

Maybe buy a Roberts & Hedges? I doubt a significant portion of the content in there will become obsolete very quickly, and it is certainly within the scope of a surgical training.

If that doesn't work, consider buying a surgery textbook, like Sabiston. Tintinalli is called a "study guide" for a reason -- I imagine it is often helpful to have a more thorough specialty-specific reference work to augment Tintinnali on certain topics.

Just my $0.02 (notice the JCHAO-compliant use of the '0' before the decimal point).
 
I don't want anything that has anything to do with surgery. I just want to use my money before my year is up (I have time). Plus, not knowing what my program "uses" yet doesn't help, but if it is tintinalli, then I am stuck between getting another source, or buying a soon to be obsolete version.

If I buy a Sabiston, I give everyone here permission to smite me. They can smite me twice if I buy a Cameron.

I would save your money for the new version of Tintinalli. You should be able to get the current version online for FREE from the North Carolina AHEC site once you're down at ECU. Read it online or print out chapters, then buy the new one whenever it comes out in print if you like. I can get it for free through the Charlotte AHEC and I'm pretty sure that each section of the state has a similar deal. You can also get Rosen's through the NC AHEC site as well.

Let me put in a strong plug for the Harwood-Nuss book "Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine." I've been reading this for most of the year and I really like the information and format the book contains. Each chapter is 3 to 10 pages of high yield, digestable stuff that I feel like I can read on a regular basis and somewhat absorb. The other EM texts are just too dense for me and I don't have the time or attention span right now to tackle them, but I hope to start on Rosen's soon once my number and length of shifts start to decrease.
 
Found out something.
Our program is buying us the Harwood-Nuss at the start of the year, so it is off the "must buy list".
Tintinalli is going to be new soon, so it is off the list.
I have $500 that I have to have a receipt from some bookstore for books by the time I leave here (they won't just give me a check).
So, I was thinking Garcia's EKG, Auerbach's Wilderness, maybe Rosen's. Any other must haves, in the vein of the money thread?
 
What about PEER VII? Or does your program buy that?

Clinical Procedures in Emergency Medicine by Roberts & Hedges would be a good pick. Its a FANTASTIC book.

Another good choice would be the Manual of Emergency Airway Management by Ron Walls or a good basic emergency ultrasound book (we use Practical Guide to Emergency Medicine Ultrasound by Cosby, but I'm soure there are other good books out there on US as well).
 
I'm interested in U/S and started reading Manual of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound by Noble, Nelson, and Sutingco. The publisher is Cambridge, and the latest edition is 2007.

I like it because it is compact and concise (249pp but not small enough to fit in your coat pocket), grouped into sections relevant to EM like '1st trimester pregnancy' and 'vascular access.' It has good diagrams on positioning, u/s pics on normal vs. abnormal, as well as suggested algorithms for work-up in the ED. I think the best part is that for every chapter, there is a table at the end summarizing some key literature for the topic as it pertains to EM. This could also be useful for your EBM arsenal when radiologists or surgery gives you grief because they think they can do it better...

And...the lead author, Vickie Noble, did her U/S fellowship at the best, St Luke's/Roosevelt...right, Roja? 😉

In summary: good shiznit!

Any thoughts on this book by seasoned ED sonographers? Or suggestions for other good EM U/S or radiology books? I heard Raby's Emergency Radiology was pretty good...
 
Reviving the old thread...anyone hear when the new version of Tintinalli is coming out? I heard it got delayed, but didn't hear the new dates expected.
