You're Not Ready to Improvize in Everything, Right?

Emergency doctors have to be systematic and think about the appropriate things. Repetition is largely part of it too. Working in the ED isn't for everyone, but we work in a system which is chaotic. Entropy is the norm. Every time I walk into a shift, I expect that entropy. And really all I'm doing at the end of the day is bringing transient order to the chaos. That's the kind of emergency medicine.
