The idea when we started was to collect the core Emergency Medicine
information and present it in an abbreviated, succinct manner, useful to
housestaff and medical students. As we progressed it became obvious that
the very breadth of the specialty prevented any one person from accomplishing
this task. It also became obvious that our specialty had advanced past the
point where succinctness was possible. We peeled, boiled and pared, and
came up with this. We hope you find it useful.
