Medical School for Everyone: Emergency Medicine

De: Roy Benaroch, The Great Courses

Narrado por: Roy Benaroch

You're a doctor 11 hours into your shift, and you've just walked into a waiting area packed with patients. There's an elderly man complaining of chest pain, a teenage girl whose arms are swollen with bee stings, and an ambulance bringing in two unresponsive kids from a car crash. What do you do next?

In Dr. Benaroch's 24 lectures, experience for yourself the high-stakes drama and medical insights of life in an everyday emergency department: the most intense department in any hospital and home to the kind of split-second decision making, troubleshooting, and detective work that can make the difference between a patient's life and death.

Every lecture brings you up close and personal with the common and uncommon medical crises that emergency doctors encounter throughout their careers. As you shadow Dr. Benaroch on his shifts and sometimes even venture off-site, you'll encounter patients coming in with a variety of symptoms and complaints - some of which are easily diagnosed and treated and some of which are more life-threatening than they first appear. At the heart of each case are powerful examples of:

• How emergency doctors think on their feet
• How emergency doctors determine what's really wrong with a patient
• How emergency doctors rule in - or out - certain diagnoses
• How emergency doctors counsel patients and families on improving health

This is your opportunity to explore the adventure, mystery, and fascination of emergency medicine - and to discover why it's one of the most exciting and rewarding branches of medicine to work in.

Fun Listen

I love Dr. Benaroch's way of explaining the practice of medicine. I've listened to two of his books now and I'm going to look for more. This is entertaining...almost like mini mysteries. Also, the knowledge you will gain is useful.

A good read

I enjoyed the subject matter presented in this presentation. I learned quie a bit about the role of emergency room procedures I had not thought about.

Fantastic to listen to!

This is the most informative medical course I’ve heard or read . The author uses excellent skills to make each case interesting. There’s fast paced action that one can experience from an armchair. Great for all adults to learn and use.

How do emergency departments really works.

If you have ever been to an emergency room and wondered how this place works, This is the book for you.

The acronym “old car“ will help you understand your own pain/illness and how to best convey it to an emergency room doctor.

Do you know what the medical acronym ABC stands for? Another reason you should read this book Because ABC Could save your life or someone else’s.

Well presented

I thought that was very informative and interesting. The teacher/narrator is very good and I enjoyed listening to him. The format of the material was clever; the listener is shadowing him during shifts in the ED and learning as they go along.

fun and interesting

One of the best great courses I have heard, told in a story format that made it fun to learn from.

Engaging and instructive

These lectures were fascinating and provided a great look into a field most of us are scared to even think about. I'd never had much interest in emergency medicine, but the lecturer kept me engaged from the first minute to the last.

He had a variety of interesting stories on all different topics, and kept them tied to the central theme. He is a wonderful speaker and obviously very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this for everyone!

it prepares me for medical school

I really enjoy great course thanks again for the interesting book. now I have a few ideas on how to attain to an emerge thank you doc.

Enjoyable & educational

I flew through this one, very digestible 30 min lectures and easy for anyone to understand
