Emergency Psychiatry
originally submitted by Bob Marietta:
I'm a Psychiatry resident in at a large hospital. One of our attending Psychiatrists had a great handbook on Emergency Psychiatry. The book was a few years out of print. Even so, the professor claimed it was unique compared to the newer books in the way the material was presented. Normally we would all buy copies. Because it was out of print, the only way really for us to get access to it was to borrow it or copy some of the key sections. Perhaps being able to copy the information out of the book which was not commercially available could have prevented harm to a patient.
