24/7/365: The Evolution of Emergency Medicine
Join the Alaska Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians for a special screening of 24/7/365: The Evolution of Emergency Medicine
When you dial 911, someone picks up your call, an ambulance is dispatched, and you are speedily transported to an emergency room. Once there, a team of specially-trained emergency medicine doctors and personnel with an enormous amount of resources at their fingertips care for you. No one asks if you can pay. No one refuses to treat you if you cannot. A generation ago, it was completely different. There was no 911 system, there were no trained pre-hospital personnel, your "ambulance" may have been a hearse, and there may or may not have been any doctor at all in a bare basement room with leaky pipes at the hospital where you were taken.
24|7|365: The Evolution of Emergency Medicine chronicles the emergence of EMS and the specialty of Emergency Medicine, which became the 23rd recognized medical specialty only in 1979.
After the screening, please join the chapter for a panel discussion with the documentary's producers.
