Download or read book Emergency Pediatric written by Peter Emblad and published by Boston Medical Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primarily intended as a study aid, this text is written in rapid-fire question/answer format. This way, readers receive immediate gratification. Questions themselves often contain a 'pearl' intended to reinforce the answer. Additional 'hooks' may be attached to the answer in various forms, including mnemonics, visual imagery, repetition, and humour. Additional information not requested in the question may be included in the answer. Emphasis has been placed on distilling trivia and key facts that are easily overlooked, that are quickly forgotten, and that somehow seem to be needed on board examinations.
