Hello!

Just wanted to let you know that I have donated "The EDE Book" to the Emergency Medicine Resident's Library. Full disclosure I am one of the chapter authors. Having said that I am sure you will find it an excellent resource. Further information about the book can be found at: The EDE Book
Enjoy!! Tell us what you think and write a comment. Also, if you know of a good ultrasound resource then comment about it on the blog!! Michael
