My First Emergent Patient Experience
When I was in EMT school, getting clinical experience in an emergency room was a required portion of the curriculum, and for me this happened at Robert Wood Johnson's Rahway Hospital. This post describes my first time in such a setting experiencing just a fraction of what doctors, nurses, and other medical workers incur on a daily basis, as well as the first emergent patient I had as an EMT.
