The trainees in emergency medicine have a lot to learn, kw and remember, while the trained practitioners of emergency medicine have a lot of already learned facts to remember and update from time to time because emergency medicine is concerned with the multitude of injuries and acute illnesses that can afflict mankind. The acquisition and the retention of the requisite kwledge entail, among other means, extensive and repeated reading and studying the facts contained in the often volumius textbooks, numerous journals, and mographs. The volume of materials to be read and studied may be intimidating, necessitating the need to filter out and learn the essential facts from the verbiage of the write-ups in authoritative textbooks and reputable journals. Analytic Emergency Medicine made up of questions-and-answers book series on various aspects of emergency medicine serves this purpose. The books are written by an author who was involved in the teaching and training of undergraduate medical students, and the physicians undergoing specialist training, in emergency medicine for about twenty-five years. He has observed the effectiveness of the use of focused questions and answers to aid learning and understanding. The book series will be a welcome help as it will facilitate the study of emergency medicine.
