A must read for all emergency physicians

Although the tile and cover art leave much to be desired, this book must be read by all EM docs. I have bought copies for much of my staff- it gives a great perspective on an underapreciated struggle by EM, ACEP and SAEM. It is also a great read in general, funny and entertaining.

Fantastic history

This book puts emergency department care into context and sheds light on our current problems. Great book!
