We see it on TV.

Traumas being rushed into the trauma bay while medical staff are moving swiftly in and out of several patient rooms.

We hear the loud sirens of an ambulance driving by trying to get a patient in need quickly to the hospital. Where’s the first stop?

The ED.  

But what is it really like to work in the emergency department as a physician?

The chaos. The unpredictability. Having to know the first few steps of “everything” because you just don’t know what’s going to come in next.

The organized chaos.

Today’s episode features a third year emergency medicine resident who is nearing the end of his long, arduous training and will soon be a staff emergency medicine physician.

Dr. Dustin Harris walks us through what it’s really like to be an EM physician, the good and the not so great.
