Revised DEC 2016.

Strap into the jump seat and come along for a flight. See first hand what goes on behind the scenes in the high-pressure world of emergency and trauma care as it is delivered in the field. The author shares poignant tales of what it's like to work as a flight physician and helps the reader capture an appreciation of what it takes to function in the challenging environment of emergency medicine, trauma and critical care and to perform all of those skills in the back of a cramped helicopter while bouncing through turbulence with a critical patient's life hanging in the balance.
