Well written book. It's not a reference but more of a cursory study guide for those preparing to evaluate patients in the emergency setting. I think it best fits those preparing to start PGY 2 of neurology, where emergency consults are a new and often intimidating part of our role. The book is organized into sections (e.g. pediatric, stroke, etc) and subdivided into chapters which begin with a brief vignette followed by an informal, few-page discussion on how to think through and manage the case. Topics covered include meningitis, thunderclap headache, traumatic spinal cord injury, etc. This book is not really meant to replace a reference book (Lange Neurology is my go-to for something you can stash in your locker or work space, with Adam's and Victor's at home for deeper questions or more complex, chronic cases where you're scrambling for a differential). However I think this book has its place as a preparatory tool for how to think through a case, examine a patient, come up with a differential, and make sure you know what to do emergently and what can wait.

Emergency Neurology (What Do I Do Now) 1st Edition, Kindle Edition
Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Try again.
What Do I Do Now? Emergency Neurology is designed as a resource for clinicians at all levels of training in all fields of medicine who treat patients with urgent and emergent neurological syndromes. It uses a novel approach focusing on the "clinical impasse" that so often occurs in complex cases, and emphasizes the creative intellectual process clinicians relish.
Authored by Morris Levin, along with colleagues from the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, this volume presents 32 common urgent/emergent cases divided in to four distinct sections: (1) Diagnostic Questions (ADULT), (2) Treatment Considerations (ADULT), (3) Ethical, Neuropsychiatric and Legal issues and 4) Pediatric issues. The chapters are short and to the point, bearing in mind the increasing work demands on physicians. Thus, the approach in this book, as in the "What Do I Do Now?" series in general, is highly practical, logical and fun.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is an excellent resource , both for students and residents and for attending physicians who want a consice, yet comprehensive and clinically relevant discussion of neurologic emergencies. [...] I recommend it to all who must care for complicated neurological patients in the ED." -- Edward J. Otten, The Journal of Emergency Medicine"This book is unique in its organization, as are all the books in this series. Compared to other references in neurology, this book organizes the information in a more practical way, especially for the emergency setting when time is critical and a diagnosis may not be readily apparent. For newer practitioners, this is a great introduction to the approach to patients with neurological emergencies." -- Doody's
"I think that, because it contains a quick, high-yield practical review of the most commonly encountered emergencies in neurology, Emergency Neurology will be a great companion to standard texts on neurology. This is a high quality book and a worthwhile read... I recommend this book with great enthusiasm." --Sankalp Gokhale, JAMA Neurology

- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2017I am shocked by the poor quality of the papers! All the books from this series ( what do i do now? ) with "oxford" on the front cover has a horrible and disgusting paper quality .That is unfortunate because the content gives a very good review that could be helpful for neurology residents & fellows. May be it's my fault since i did not notice this from before, but plz be aware of this point before buying if you care about paper quality, font style & size etc).

- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2013The covered topics of this book are clinically oriented, "in the real world". I would like to recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2014A must have reference for a neurohospitalist
- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2014OK
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2016very abbreviated discussions. Fast read. Not very advanced level. 32 cases, each only a few pages long. If you recall the case files series from medical school, it seems like you don't get much more

This is a very readable book on neurological emergencies. Would recommend reading the references at the end of each chapter too.

4.0 out of 5 stars 要点のまとめ方が非常に良い!
総合診療医や神経内科研修医には非常によい本だと思います。
「症例」の提示、解説、ポイント(「key points to remember」)の形式で書かれています。
特に、「key points to remember」が要点をよくとらえていて、この部分だけ読んでいっても十分有用です。
