Great reference
I used this reference a good but when I was new to practice in a walk-in clinic. From animal bites to corneal abrasions to toenail avulsions, it gave concise treatment recommendations that helped me through my cases. While I need to rely on it a lot less now, I did purchase this to update an older edition and I’ve been equally happy with it

Terrific resource
I work in an urgent care and have been practicing for a little over a year now. This is the perfect resource! I love the ebook option as well with videos that walk you through some procedures. I would definitely recommend buying this if you are a new provider or new to an urgent care setting!

This has been handy
I am a new Nurse Practitioner working in an urgent care, often on my own. This has been an excellent resource. Who knew someone with a dog bite on their tongue would come in.

Great book
I worked in a setting where I was the only nurse for hundreds of inmates in a Max prison. I used this book to assist me in providing care to patients with their emergencies. It helped me decide how to handle situations where I had to intelligently explain a medical issue to a on call MD or chart in a correct manner. This was my own personal book and glad to have it. I believe I initially found the title from a ER MD who recommended it. This is the updated copy, I gave my old copy to a non medical neighbor who found it useful.

Excellent
This book is a must have for ER or urgent care. I work in an emergency medicine and can treat septic shock in my sleep but there all kinds of things not that serious that still come in. Some excellent procedural tips. Have given copies to students.

PA working in Immediate Care
I'm a PA and work in Immediate care, this is a great reference book for procedures! Especially those that you don't do daily and need a refresher on before proceeding. I would highly recommend - it is well written, thorough, and covers procedural skills as well as treatments and different options to consider.
