RT Book, Section A1 Sherman, Scott C. SR Print(0) ID 1154610850 T1 Preface T2 Simon's Emergency Orthopedics, 8e YR 2019 FD 2019 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9781259860829 LK accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1154610850 RD 2024/03/28 AB A multitude of texts and publications currently exist directed at the “ER doc.” The “ER doc” has rapidly been replaced by a new physician who practices only emergency medicine. No current orthopedics text is directed at this physician. As emergency medicine has developed, there must evolve a cooperative relationship between the orthopedic surgeon and the “emergentologist” based on acknowledging the experience and expertise of one another to make prudent decisions and to recognize areas beyond the limitations of each practitioner. It is this spirit that permeates this text.
