Emergency Medicine 

Emergency Medicine is a specialized type of medicine that deals with the more serious illnesses, injury, or diseases cases. This is a fast paced and high stress field to be in as most patients do not have much time to spare. When patients with severe burns and traumatic require attention-it is the individuals in this field that given such a tremendous task. The Center for Disease Control reports that 1.1 million individuals every year receive burns that require immediate medical attention. Of those with severe burns, roughly 4,500 will die. The World Health Organization estimates 60,000 people die every year in the United States from excessive hemorrhaging. As durable as the body is, if what is inside does not stay there, a person life will be on the line. With immediate treatment, an individuals likelihood for survival can be very high but will quickly deteriorate with every passing minute. Proper medical attention never occurs immediately in most cases, so there is never enough time for both the patient and the staff trying to save their life. This is a balancing act that professionals in this specialty are always at a disadvantage in. Everyone takes advantage of time but its when you need it most one finds out there is never enough.
