Full Description
In this book, experienced emergency physicians describe, in a way that is both suspenseful and instructive, often dramatic and humanly touching emergency scene calls with which they have been confronted in the course of their professional lives. Each case is discussed and finishes with a conclusion to help in future practice. Emergency physicians and ambulance staff thus receive valuable tips for their own future work.
