Ep.14 - Past & Present - Emergency Medicine
Casenotes Past & Present is a Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh podcast. In this episode we explore the history of Emergency Medicine. From the wound man and battlefield triage to Dutch fumigation and the Trotting horse method, and everything in between! We also talk to Dr Kerri Baker, a Consultant Acute Physician and General Physician, about her experiences, and the differences between acute and emergency medical care. And we finish up with a look at the mysterious case of L’Inconnue de la Seine and her connection to the development of CPR training.
