The Emergency Medicine Journal is a peer-reviewed medical journal. It is the official journal of the College of Emergency Medicine (formerly of the British Association for Emergency Medicine), as well as the British Association for Immediate Care and the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. It is focused on developments in the field of emergency medicine and critical care in both the hospital and pre-hospital environments, publishing original research, case reports, review articles, letters, and best evidence topic reports ("Best BETs"). It is published monthly, with supplements covering the College of Emergency Medicine conferences.
The journal was established in March 1984 under the title Archives of Emergency Medicine, and was renamed Journal of Accident and Emergency Medicine in 1994, before getting its current title in March 2000.
Famous quotes containing the words emergency, medicine and/or journal:
“War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Good medicine is bitter to the taste.”
—Chinese proverb.
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
