Despite being an emergency physician, it is uncommon for me to actually encounter true emergencies. As I mentioned in previous episodes, most of what I do is not emergent or even urgent and many times less is more. However, every once in a while, I do encounter true emergencies and find myself managing shock cardiac arrest as well as other emergent conditions. The next set of rules provide some advice when encountering such situations.
