I also want to thank the medical students and residents that I have had the privilege to teach over the years. You have all made me a better person and physician with your inspiration and collaboration. —ERNEST WANG, MD, FACEP FOREWORD One of the greatest pleasures in medicine is the art of diagnosing patients’ conditions and translating that into an appropriate therapeutic plan. Over the years, the evolution of medicine has increased pressure on practitioners to see more patients in shorter time frames to keep up with the economic demands of modern medicine. This evolution has threatened to turn the art of medicine into the factory of medicine. The Atlas of Clinical Emergency Medicine is a tool that practitioners can use to “turn back the clock” during patient encounters. The Atlas enhances our ability to instantly recognize patients’ conditions through the wide array of images. In addition, the Atlas provides us with specific and concise diagnostic and treatment plans. The editorial team consists of outstanding practitioners and educators who care for thousands of patients each year. They have assembled an impressive array of images that enriches our practice of medicine so that we can regain the art of medicine that we yearn for on a daily basis. Jeffrey J. Schaider, MD Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine Rush Medical College Chairman, Department of Emergency Medicine Cook County Health & Hospitals System Chicago, Illinois PREFACE It was 2001 when I began taking photographs in the medical setting. I was in my emergency medicine residency, rotating at a community hospital on the northwest side of Chicago. I bought a disposable “cardboard box” camera on the way into my shift one day. I had no formal training, just an interest in documenting for the purpose of education. I still remember some of the cases from that month—nail gun injury, scapholunate dissociation. I enjoyed it and started giving lectures the following year to my fellow residents with the pictures. It seemed to make it more real to the audience. I graduated to a Canon Elph because it easily fit in the pocket and I dutifully carried it with me on every shift for years to come building a library of images that mostly sat unused on the hard drive of my office computer. I have always subscribed to the statement that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” It is the way I have best learned throughout my schooling. Seeing a physical finding, radiographic image, or a disease process made it stick in my mind much better than reading pages of voluminous text. And today, in the clinical setting, I prefer to hear a student presentation at the bedside. Not just because it involves the patient and allows for bedside teaching but because I have a visual of the patient and the words take on more meaning. I may not be alone in this belief. Research suggests that approximately 70% of the population uses visual/spatial thinking either predominantly or in combination with words. In the Atlas of Clinical Emergency Medicine, you will find 342 topics laid out in the same, straightforward, organizational format. Immediately under the topic title, the reader will find a relevant
