Medical emergencies

national actors are normally the first responders and respond in a timely manner (Zyck und Krebs, 2015, p. 3). A report regarding the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia shows, “local people provided almost all immediate life-saving action and early emergency support, as is commonly the case in disasters.” The first 72 hours are the most important ones to save lives, get fewer injuries and less damage.

The Anatomy of Medical Schools There is the sound of sirens, and then the doctor’s pager begins to beep crazily. An accident has happened and they need doctors in the emergency room. The ER is packed full of patients, and the doctors are rushing to the ER to help. Each doctor may choose to approach the patient’s condition in a different way. How they choose to approach the problem depends on the type of medical school they attended. In the United States, there are two types of medical schools…

The case history A 21 month old boy presented to his local emergency department having reportedly fallen down the stairs. The mother said she left…

Emergency Room visit was an eye-opening experience for me. Considering the fast pace environment at the ED, I thought the interview skills that employ here would be different than what we have been learning. Instead, the fist interview I got to observe was conduct by one of the residents on a 5-year-old girl. The resident followed the BIC closely and was able to elicit a lot of relevant information regarding the history of present illness and past medical history. The resident definitely made…
