The Beauty of Jazz in Emergency Medicine

I think working in the ER is like jazz and this comes to team leadership as well. The beauty of jazz is that it's so improvisational. I'm not listening to Miles Davis on my way into the shift, but I'm feeling Miles Davis in my mind and in my heart as I go in there. And when you talk about the team approach and how I deal with a case that's very complicated, it's jazz. It's the ability to improvise."
