A must read for all emergency physicians
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
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
