About the book >.>.> The challenge is frequently the ultimate: death. The spectrum is all-inclusive. The team is made up of citizens clerks paramedics nurses physicians and a host of other personnel. The spirit is cooper- ation and success is measured in minutes and lives; failure is measured in death disability and depression. It is no wonder then that even the most intelligent and ambitious approach to the arena of emergency care includes a mixture of fear and trepidation balanced with excitement anticipation and hope. Those who accept this challenge and go that one step further to attempt to educate-face a formidable and rigorous challenge. Although no one book journal treatise or other presentation can effectively communicate all those elements of knowledge and technique necessary for the optimal provision of emergency health care this work succeeds in conveying the essence of our field. It is said that emergency medicine has rapidly evolved through its embryonic period into infancy and childhood and is now going through adoles- cence. This analogy is particularly apt and certain- ly expresses the sense of turmoil and change that now characterizes the field of emergency care. Just as the adolescent struggles to assert independence and to achieve recognition based on the merits of individual accomplishment and worth emergency medicine struggles with these same challenges. Recognition as a specialty has been achieved: its effective translation into the provision of health care remains to be solidified maintained and per- petuated.
