Emergency Medicine
Emergency Medicine is a medical specialty where physicians treat patients with serious illnesses or injuries requiring immediate attention. Emergency medicine physicians do not provide primary care or see patients in a long-term setting, but can diagnose serious chronic illnesses; their goal is to diagnose emergent conditions and stabilize the patient. These professionals practice in emergency rooms of hospitals and deal with conditions such as trauma injuries, heart attacks, and extreme cases of infectious disease. The Emergency Medicine portal collects and indexes all of the contributors and content in these areas, with topics including everything from heart failure to hip fracture.
