About this listen
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.

An interesting listen for the non-medicals
Bought this audiobook mostly out of curiosity, and actually was a good listen: informative, useful and actually somewhat captivating.
If you are interested on how ER doctors make decisions and how they go through the procedural process of eliminating ambiguity, then this will appeal to you.

Anythig you ever wanted to know about EmergencyMed
Roy Benaroch is not only a knowledgeable and confident medical specialist, but also an outstanding lecturer. I am sure I would not have enjoyed the subject of emergency medicine as much as I did if it were not for his concise, enlightening and entertaining narration.
His lectures also gave me the new appreciation of what it takes to work successfully in an emergency department -- under constant stress, always in a multi-tasking mode, quickly getting to the heart of the problem when one symptom may be characteristic of tens of different life-threatening diagnoses. Roy Benaroch's lectures recreate emergency department's reality.

Everything I ever wanted to know about the ER!
Would you consider the audio edition of Medical School for Everyone: Emergency Medicine to be better than the print version?
I haven't seen the print edition but I very much enjoyed the audio edition.
Who was your favorite character and why?
That's a tricky one!
The narrator himself, of course, but so many of the people referred to have stayed fresh in my mind, several days after finishing listening to the book.
What about Professor Roy Benaroch’s performance did you like?
A calm and professional delivery, which still managed to convey the drama and action of the Emergency Department and the need for rapid and decisive action in many of the cases. An engaging and likeable narrator.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It was, actually, but the way it was broken down into episodes still worked extremely well and I found myself thinking about the lessons taught several times before I listened to the next episode.
Any additional comments?
A huge amount of valuable information is covered, including first aid and how best to help accident and emergency victims which the average listener might well encounter in everyday life, as well as how to say safe as a patient in the ER when under the care of doctors.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and will very likely listen to it again in the near future.

Humane edutainment
Lovely teaching style - clear and human. A great mix of medical and diagnostic principles with little insights into how it is to work in emergency medicine. Suitable for anyone - some basic human biology knowledge is assumed but not it’s not that technical. I would recommend this title and this lecturer; he transmits a sense of kind curiosity about his patients.

Interesting
A good series of lectures on medical emergency. Whilst not aimed at existing medical professionals there were some useful snippets there that I found useful.

Very educational
By the end of it, about a third of the scenarios and follow on steps were correctly estimated. It would help people have awareness on how to interact with the emergency department.

The real ER
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a sensible and enjoyable textbook on the practice of emergency medicine from a US perspective. The medicine is factual. It is well presented with a good use of narrative, while providing genuine educational value. Good for medical students and juniors going into an early A&E rotation

Not for medical professionals
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I am a nurse, and bought this thinking I might learn a few little bits without having to put must effort into learning....
I found this course very basic, I appreciate it is for everyone, and it was very interesting to compare the American hospital systems to the NHS, but it did find it rather basic.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
More aimed towards medical professionals.
