When my residency training was complete, I took a big sigh of relief. At last! After all the years of medical school and residency training, I was finally at the end of the road. I thought I was the master of all things emergency medicine. A community job? After all the pathology I’d seen in residency? This should be a breeze. Little did I realize my education was just getting started. This book is a guide to what I learned in the years following residency. It’s a review of both the clinical and non-clinical: must-know ECG patterns, uncommon presentations of common illnesses, debunking dogma, bouncebacks, managing administrative duties, how to avoid malpractice lawsuits, tips for paying off debt, and more!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"If one were to create a style of literature for the emergency medicine paradigm, he or she would do well to use Dr. Khan's new book as a model. Imagine asking your most interesting peers and mentors to tell you something remarkable, to share a memorable story, to give some advice...but you have only a few minutes. Questions addressed include "What have you learned since you have been out of residency?," "What do you wish you knew?," and "What are the things you missed and never want me to miss?" Responses are all written in brief, easily digested prose evoking a casual conversation among peers. This book is a conglomeration of clinical anecdotes, not-to-be-missed cases, zebras, and real-world advice ranging from partnership to clinical relationships to finances and the law. This directly applicable clinical, practice, and life advice is the heart of this informal, timely, and relevant book."- Stephen C. Morris, MD, MPHUniversity of Washington School of Medicine

"Although this book is unmistakably targeted to physicians recently out of residency, it will appeal to the broader audience of the not-so-new attending physicians and residents in training. With its real-world bent and modest approach, it offers a bit of a review and opportunities for introspection while not being pedantic or obscured by data. In short, this is a fun read that will benefit many emergency physicians."- Annals of Emergency Medicine

This book provides a great review of can’t-miss diagnoses while also providing insight to improving happiness and career longevity within Emergency Medicine. The casual writing style makes for a quick read but doesn’t sacrifice solid clinical information.

5.0 out of 5 stars EM residents: THIS BOOK IS GOLD.
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2017
As an emergency physician, Dr. Khan is officially an old-timer. But the thing about residency-trained emergency physicians is that they only get better with age and experience. (I'm biased, since I'm also in the same category.)

Dr. Khan's prose is easy to read (even for those with short attention spans), totally compelling, and covers material that is absolutely vital to a happy successful post-residency practice of emergency medicine. Clinical vignettes are spot on. Professional advice (on finances, shiftwork, and life outside work) is also spot on. I'm very glad that Dr. Khan took the time out to write this book. It puts in one place many things that are must-knows for all emergency physicians. These took me several decades to understand myself. If I'd had this book as a senior resident, I'd certainly have been saved a lot of pain.

Here's one of my favorite passages (regarding those who want to practice academic medicine) and something I also can confirm from my own experience: "You are truly lost in trying to prepare anyone for the real world of medical practice unless you've been in that same world, in a busy community ED, for at least five to ten years... So if you want to teach, practice first."

Bottom line: great book, must read for new emergency physicians, well worth the price. JUST BUY IT.
