Viewpoint: A Letter to the Country from an Emergency Physician

December 31, 2012

Jacobson ME
Emergency Medicine News, 2012, 34(11A). doi: 10.1097/01.EEM.0000422901.91264.53

Excerpt.
I am an emergency physician with an apolitical message in this rather politically charged, polarized time in our country. I have worked for some time in this profession, and have noticed a disturbing trend about which I must speak out — the growing number of emergency department scenarios in which the selfishness and entitlement of those without real emergencies drown out the quiet suffering of those in real need.
