Emergency medicine is a budding specialty in the developing world, many people die because of lack of basic emergency services.

It is divided into 21 chapters and sectioned by the body system. Tables, charts, and easy illustrations are used to clarify the content and facilitate the learning process. Standard National Treatment Guidelines are stressed in each case discussion. Each case study is designed to stimulate a thought process, especially for students, to formulate a diagnosis and a quick treatment plan accordingly. Clinical Pearls and Pitfalls are provided to keep the importance in mind of missing a diagnosis as well as the legal implications that would follow.
