We need communication to change our current emergency care system.
I am an emergency physician, forever grateful of the responsibilities entrusted by my patients. This is a relationship I hold dear. As such, I'm an active participant in the war of life and death for our patients. I'm in the trenches with the best nurses, techs and EMS personnel holding the line as the battle continues. We have our victories and share our defeats, all in the name of what is best for society and our fellow man.
Health care is a very hot topic in our society — as it should be. Every time I turn on the television or computer, there is a barrage of media commentary or special interest reports dealing with health care legislation, the AHA, or skyrocketing insurance premiums.
