Started by Zback
Some good stuff on Rush EM blog. These helped me:
http://rushemergencymedicine.com/intro-01a-triage-and-primary-survey/
http://rushemergencymedicine.com/intro-02a-secondary-survey/
http://rushemergencymedicine.com/intro-03-presenting-patients-in-3-minutes/
Also, get WikiEM for your phone. EMRA's ABX guide is awesome too.
Join EMRA and you get EMRAP for free, which is another great resource.
EM Secrets was my favorite book on my clerkships.

There are lots of great resources here on the SDN EM forum.
Check out the FAQ. There is a section called "for residents" that has links to threads about important EM articles with discussion and important "do nots."
Additionally if anyone else feels like searching up some good, more recent threads I'll update the FAQ accordingly.

Great question, and one that I had a year ago. I was led to this gem of a book, which is not highly talked about (not sure why) but is VERY encompassing and helped me get me H on my rotation for sure..... Has most dx as well as the important things to keep in mind for any given chief complaint. Allows you to develop a solid differential for every complaint and great plan of action to present to the attending and look like a superstar.

"EMRA Basics of Emergency Medicine, A Chief Complaint Based Guide."
This book is like 20 pages and will easily fit into the back pocket of your scrub pants with an Iphone.
The book has the most common chief complaints you will see and their corresponding, H&P, Dx, and Tx.

You can read Secrets for EM...it was pretty good.
Besides the really short EMRA chief complaint based book
I have seen some other pocketbooks years before in borders, but dont know titles now
seems tarascon is not chief complaint based
anybody know of any great books can carry around ED that are chief complaint based??
people say pocket medicine is partially so??

I second EM secrets. It's problem based, concise and includes a decent amount of information that will not only help you manage a pt in the ED, but convince your resident/attending that you know what you're talking about.
