Excellent algorithms, concise, practical, clinically relevant explanations citing the current best-evidence for management decisions; without doubt Chief Complaint it is THE pocket Emergency Medicine reference to have with you at the bedside." -Manuel Montano, MD, PGY-3, LAC+USC EM Residency "...is really top notch. I really like how it organizes complaints in a flow pattern type way. This has allowed me to quickly adjust my decision making and makes it actually useful when I feel super pressured at work. The further detail located later has been helpful to one, get some good initial learning in and two, look to the resources cited for more in depth discussion." -David Benaron, UCSD Resident "Chief complaint is AWESOME...I think every single intern in the country should have one of these...SO COOL!" -James Grieme, UCSD Resident "The aptly named Chief Complaint is simply excellent. I really like the way it is laid out by cc and it's concise enough to be useful on a regular basis. I take it with me to every shift and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a streamlined, functional, real-time guide for working up patients in the ED" -Nick Aldridge, UCSD Resident "... really something totally new in the medical education world. This app does something many have tried to do but few have achieved, which is to create an orienteering guide to the med-ed landscape while launching your thought processes AT THE BEDSIDE when confronted with a new undifferentiated and undiagnosed patient." -William "Billy" Mallon MD, Foreword}

I’m a paramedic and use this app for assistance with assessments. It is a little over the top for EMS but it’s super useful at all levels!

This app is easy to use, is concise and yet thorough, and has clear recommendations on next steps. Great for a medical student or resident learner early in their training.

Great app, very useful. Would be nice if a few drugs were under the general complaint categories. One bug, deleting any bookmarks will crash the app.

Essentially this is a ER Doctor’s app. Myself and my husband are both ER and ICU nurses. A wonderful app for us as well. A good reference for patients to know what to expect for treatment in the hospital or by their own treating physician!

Many IPad users have attached keyboards. There’s just no excuse for not supporting landscape orientation, especially in an app designed for professionals.
