Doctors have been providing emergency care for patients for as long as there have been doctors. But emergency medicine as a specialty is a relatively new development. On this Vermont Edition, we're talking to Dr. Paul Seward, one of the first physicians to specialize in emergency medicine.
Seward has been a physician for nearly 50 years, and he has spent most of his career working in emergency rooms. His new book, Patient Care: Death and Life in the Emergency Room, tells the story of his career in the emergency room and his thoughts on the ethics of medicine.
