Myths in Emergency Medicine Volume 2

Viac o knihe

Volume 2 expands on the landmark Myths in Emergency Medicine. This volume examines the origin, facts, and misconceptions of many common bedside teachings. These are some of the oldest and most pervasive medical myths. With each topic we discuss the best available evidence to guide clinical care, and acknowledge the areas of continued uncertainty. Ironically, disproving a myth may actually create a new myth, but these common tales are filled with many falsehoods. By taking a deep dive into these common myths we hope you will both gain an appreciation for medical history and improve your clinical practice and skepticism.
