How ER docs actually process what we do

A remarkably good blog post from Seth Treuger ( @MDaware on twitter). The classic model of history, physical, testing, diagnosis & treatment does not apply to us. I think we do 3 things in emergency medicine: Resuscitation Risk stratification Care coordination Resus is the fun sexy stuff that we stay up late at night having twitter arguments about. As much as I love ketamine, I can go a number of shifts without using it, and very little of what we do is resus. Most of what we do is risk stratification and care coordination. Read it. It’s good.   Related posts: RT @BrianCurtisNBC5: Dallas County can now do #Ebola testing. Samples don’t need to go to Austin.
